split peas are rich sources of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They play a significant role in the diets of developing countries and serve as an affordable alternative to animal protein sources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legumes also contribute to sustainable agriculture by fixing nitrogen in the soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udfed Domestic Production and Challenges<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Approximately 70% of Iran\u2019s legume consumption is supplied through domestic production, while the remaining 30% is imported.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The harvest season begins in late spring, with lentils harvested earlier and beans later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Challenges such as water scarcity, pests, and climate fluctuations affect production and can lead to price increases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83c\udf0d Imports and the Role of Trading Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Imports from major producing countries such as Canada, India, Argentina, and Russia form a vital part of Iran\u2019s supply chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Companies like Kian Karaman Arya and Jahangostar Arsha play a key role in market regulation through importing and packaging legumes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Imports help reduce dependence on domestic production during crises and increase product diversity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\ud83d\udd04 Supply Chain and Market Dynamics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The supply chain includes stages of production, importation, packaging, distribution, and sales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Global price fluctuations, transportation costs, and currency policies impact the final price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialized associations such as the Iran Legumes Association contribute to market regulation and data reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2705 Strategies for Improving
