The figure will, directly and indirectly, result in providing jobs for 3,000 individuals within a year, he underscored.

Thanks to the requirements and potential, Gomishan city in Golestan Province and Khuzestan Province’s Karun are the highest priority to this end, he noted.

He went on to say that 6,000 billion rials will be invested to operationalize the projects.

He underlined that 4,000 billion rials were spent on carrying out 2,700 employment projects last year.

Barakat Foundation has put employment projects in aquaculture on the agenda since 2 years ago, he pointed out.

Those who are active in the cage and pen aquaculture will be subject to the facilities, he stated.

Owing to the fact that Iran enjoys the sea in the north and south and considerable potential, he said, adding that aquaculture, maritime Tourism, and the related industries are of paramount importance.

For this reason, Barakat Foundation, with extensive studies and expert pathologies, has operationalized the entrepreneurship development plan and the completion of the aquatic production supply chain in the coastal provinces, he said.

Entrepreneurship development plan and completion of the aquatic production supply chain should be implemented in all provinces adjacent to the sea across the country, he further noted.
