Sector-Specific
Agribusiness Land Leasing
Long-term land leasing, water-rights structuring, and agribusiness JV setup with Iranian Agricultural Jihad authorities.
Iran has more than 18 million hectares of arable land and a long history of partnering with foreign agribusiness on contract farming, dairy, and protected-cropping projects. The Ministry of Agriculture Jihad allocates state-owned land under long-term leases, often in conjunction with provincial water-allocation decisions. We structure the lease, the water rights, and the JV that operates the land.

Lease Iranian Agricultural Land
Combine long-term land tenure, secured water, and a competent local operator under one structure.
Agribusiness in detail
Treat land, water and market access as separate approvals
A land lease does not establish a dependable water allocation or permission for every proposed crop. Verify tenure, permitted use, soil suitability and the legal water source, then test production under a dry-year scenario. Build the business case around storage, grading, cold-chain access, labour and actual buyer requirements. Export restrictions, plant-health certificates and input availability can change; confirm them before planting or signing a long-term supply commitment.
