چکیده:
The agricultural sector holds a special position in the country due to ensuring food security. Statistics indicate that during the first nine months of 1396, nearly 13.97 million tons of agricultural products were imported into the country, accounting for approximately 52.5% of the country's total commodity imports by volume. On the other hand, reflection on the statistics of imported goods indicates a dependency on strategic products and essential agricultural inputs. The import of strategic goods and essential inputs of the agricultural sector creates political, economic, geographical, and other threats for the country, which can include cases such as increased dependency, reduction of political power, waste of national resources, reduction of social capital, and threats to processing and complementary industries. Based on this, items such as reducing dependency on raw materials, formulating appropriate cultivation patterns, and using modern agricultural methods in line with achieving Clause 7 of the general policies of the resistant economy are proposed.

The importance of this issue has led to an emphasis on "ensuring food and healthcare security and creating strategic reserves with an emphasis on increasing the quantitative and qualitative production (raw materials and goods)" in Clause 7 of the general policies of the Resistant Economy.
Given that agricultural products are among consumer goods, therefore, firstly, based on studies, imports have a negative effect on economic growth and, on the other hand, due to the country's political position and the possibility of the return of sanctions, the import of strategic products lacks political, economic, and security justification.
This issue, especially in the cultivation of essential products in the long term, faces the agricultural sector with increasing problems; for example, one can point to the burying of potato crops in some parts of the country in recent years.
2-5- Wastage of national resources and reduction of social capital Unfortunately, some officials, given the shortage of water resources in recent years, insist on reducing production in agricultural products and emphasize the use of the word self-reliance instead of self-sufficiency in strategic agricultural products.
In contrast, the country's imports indicate that strategic products and agricultural inputs are among the top 10 major imported goods to the country.
On the other hand, reflecting on the statistics of imported goods indicates dependency in strategic products and essential agricultural inputs.
