A Forecast Of Iranian Demand For Agricultural Food Products, Ivan F. Beutler
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Domestic demand for Iranian agricultural food commodities was projected for 1970, 1975 and 1980. Demand for particular commodities was projected separately for Tehran (the capital city), urban Iran and rural Iran.
