Expired rice was released into the market by order of Raisi’s government.
Rice corruption and $700 million paid to Tabiat Rice without any reason.
In the document below, which has been published, you can see that the Minister of Industry, Mine, and Trade of Raisi’s government orders the distribution of imported rice from two years ago that was in excess of the country’s needs, at a time when the government had sufficient rice reserves. For widespread corruption, an order was issued to pay $700 million in preferential currency to Tabiat Rice.
Currently, Raisi’s government is trying to dispose of the surplus and expired rice from previous years, while there is five times the surplus rice available compared to the country’s needs. The Raisi government, by paying $700 million without reason, adds rice corruption to its record, similar to the tea corruption.
