According to recently published information, a significant portion of the 28,500 Toman preferential currency has been allocated to the import of essential goods in recent years. Among these, companies affiliated with the Modell Group have played a major role with the largest share.
Billion-Dollar Imports of Essential Goods
Data shows that the import of items such as corn, wheat, barley, rice, crude vegetable oil, oilseeds, soybean meal, and red meat has been carried out with the allocation of billions of dollars in preferential currency. This situation has once again brought discussions about transparency, rent-seeking, and oversight of government currency allocation back to the forefront of public attention.
Companies such as “Modell Agricultural and Industrial Company,” “Modell Agricultural and Industrial Company North,” and “Ava Tejarat Saba” are at the top of the list of recipients, raising serious concerns about the unequal distribution of resources and the lack of effective oversight over economic activities.
