Agriculture

(Wise Sayings of Imam Khomeini)

o Iran is a country that must have a rich agriculture for it is an agricultural country.

o You. farmers, are the nation's greatest support; you must continue your

agricultural works.

o You well know that we are in need of foreigners for food staples; we must

make up for this ourselves and this calls for dedication of our farmers!

o The worker and the farmer form the basic core of any country. The

economic base of a country is dependent on the work of the workers and

the farmers.

o Farmers and workers are the backbone of the country's independence.

o The 'land-reform'1 we seek is the one that will enable the farmer to enjoy

the fruit of his labor and it will duly penalize the owners who have acted

contrary to Islamic decrees.
