MRD
The Moghan research and development (MRD) center facilitate
the transfer of new technologies and production practices to
growers who are producing fresh, locally-grown vegetables,
other horticultural crops in controlled environments as well as
meat. Crops can be grown year-round using state of the art
greenhouse systems that showcase sustainable production
practices at a commercial pilot scale.
The mission of the MRD is to improve the long-term
competitiveness of the IRAN’s agriculture and food sector
through the development and transfer of innovative
technologies.
It conducts research in the following areas:
 Beef and sheep Cattle Science.
 Poultry Science.
 Fish Science.
 Crop and Livestock Biotechnology Platforms.
 Sustainable Crop and Livestock Production Systems.
 Environmental Impact of Agriculture.
Areas of Research
We at MRD are planning to address the changing needs of IRANIAN
producers and the agri-food sector.
The Centre's areas of core research are
aligned with national priorities to help the
sector adapt and remain competitive in
domestic and global markets.
Greater participation in research networks and industry-led
partnerships expands the Centre's innovation capacity. Some
areas of planned research are:
 Conducting research in new technologies to advance the
efficiency, profitability and environmental sustainability of
Red Meat, Fish and Poultry production.
 Finding new strategies and techniques to preserve and enhance
meat quality.
 Gaining additional knowledge of the behavior and welfare of
cattle.
 Breeding crop varieties with improved yield, quality, and
disease and insect resistance. Developing production systems
that will contribute to reducing costs of production, increasing
value and achieving sector competitiveness.
 Conducting research to support food safety and quality regulations, consumer
nutritional needs and preferences, and to develop new products and processes.
 Conducting research on new management strategies to control weeds, crop and
livestock pests, while maintaining environmental quality.
 Assessing the effects of agricultural practices on soil health, water quality, air quality
(greenhouse gas emissions) and crop yields.
 Establishing databases for managing water and land resources.
 Developing management technologies for producing crops.
 Crop improvement and genetics.
 Immunity and disease prevention.
 Water and irrigation systems.
 Developing systems for automated harvesting, sorting and packing.
Facts, Figures and Facilities
