153,000 farmers worked Kermanshah Province last year, and between them they brought in about 5.75 million tons of produce. Provincial agriculture director Saeed Karimi called it a record.
The province sits in western Iran. Karimi’s figures cover the Iranian year from March 21, 2025, through March 20, 2026, and he broke them down for Trend: 4.85 million tons of crops, 601,000 tons of livestock products and 301,000 tons of garden products.
Those farmers tended about 903,000 hectares. Arable land accounted for 862,000 hectares, garden land for 41,000.
Animals are a big part of the picture. Karimi said the province has 3.4 million livestock and 550 poultry farms.
Water infrastructure is growing too. He said 133,000 hectares are now fitted with pressurized irrigation, and 55 agricultural centers serve the province’s farmers. Trend noted that water shortages and droughts have been serious problems for Iranian agriculture in recent years.
A crop-by-crop ranking
Karimi placed Kermanshah near the top nationally for a range of products.
- First in chickpea production
- Second in sunflowers
- Third in corn and sugar beets
- Fifth in wheat and figs
- Sixth in saffron
- Seventh in walnuts and olives
He said the numbers show that the province “has an important place in ensuring the country’s food security and agriculture.”
Much of Kermanshah is not farmland at all. The province covers about 2.5 million hectares, and 74% of that is natural resource area, including 527,000 hectares of forest and 1.19 million hectares of pasture.
