He further highlighted that the per capita consumption of red meat among the poorest is around 700 grams. This is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/persian\/science-47116127\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in stark contrast<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to countries like Ethiopia, where the average is 7 kilograms, Rwanda with 8 kilograms, and Nigeria with 9 kilograms per year\u2014ten times less than the average meat consumption in European nations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fararu.com\/fa\/news\/724385\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">state-run website Fararu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, based on FAO statistics, milk and dairy production in Iran decreased by 268,000 tons in 2023. This is despite government sources claiming a 42% growth in exports of these products. The data suggests that people lack purchasing power for dairy products, resulting in a reduction in domestic dairy production, with whatever is produced being exported abroad. The same source notes that the number of dairy companies in Iran has decreased from over 1,000 in the 1980s to around 200 now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the Ebrahim Raisi government continues to announce <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/economy\/the-myth-of-irans-inflation-control-raisis-falsehoods-unveiled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">positive economic growth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and a reduction in inflation, Iran remains among the countries with the highest inflation rates globally, alongside Argentina and Turkey.

Second, there are the lobbyists or intermediaries who facilitate connections between these exploiters and existing privileges, particularly government benefits. Last, there are individuals in proximity to power who establish links with embezzlers through intermediaries.
