Banks play a major role in providing for the needs of the agricultural sector. However, in the Turkmen Desert where the main occupations of the people are farming, animal husbandry, and fishing, due to lack of government support and budget shortages, many farmers in the region rely on high-interest bank loans to finance their limited production.

With unprecedented droughts, one of the main reasons being reckless dam constructions around the Gorgan, Atrak, and Qarasu rivers by organizations such as Khātam al-Anbiyā, this segment of society has become increasingly poor and indebted to banks due to the negligence of the “Tadbir va Omīd” government. In this regard, farmers can be mentioned who, this year during harvest time, faced numerous problems such as lack of storage facilities and silos proportional to the large amount of barley produced, and on the other hand, the strictness of buyers in accepting this product, using various excuses.

In this regard, the farmer said: “In the years of drought when we had very little harvest, we were happier than this year when we had a good harvest, and at least we had that little amount of harvest. We used to heal one of our pains by selling the harvest and the little amount of money we earned from it.” These are the words of a farmer who had borrowed money from one of his acquaintances for his large expenses, but due to not paying back the money on time, he has become ashamed of that acquaintance. This year, the cost of the harvest has multiplied several times due to the long lines for delivery in front of the warehouses and silos. Sometimes, trucks would spend several nights in line in front of the small warehouses in the area, and the cost would be charged to the farmer. And when it was their turn, the warehouse keeper, for various reasons, would not accept the delivery of the grain and would return the truck.

One of the Turkmen villagers named “Aman Goldi Q” is also concerned about the loan he received and its repayment method. “Aman Goldi” says in a conversation about peace: “When we want to get a loan from the bank, we must first mortgage our agricultural land, and if we are unable to pay the installments of the loan, our land will be lost.” “Aman Goldi Q” says: “We trust the government that we can use the sale of our products to pay for our child’s wedding this year, but the officials’ broken promises delay the marriage of young people.”

In the month of Khordad this year, IRNA wrote: “The director of water resources in the cities of Gonbad-e Kavus, Minudasht, and Galikesh in the eastern province of Golestan has requested from the farmers in this region, especially in Gonbad-e Kavus, to refrain from planting rice this year.” In the current conditions of water scarcity and drought in areas under the Voshmgir and Shemgir dams in Turkmen Sahra, rice fields have been planted on more than 1200 hectares of land, from the villages of “Bibi Shirvan” and “Yarti Qaya” to the confiscated lands of the Alavi Foundation known as “Arya Dasht”. Firstly, these rice fields were not contracted as rice fields, but rather under fake contracts for planting sunflowers, and secondly, for every hectare planted, one bag of rice must be given to the government’s water or irrigation department

All of this is happening while the simple farmer is under various physical, mental, and emotional pressures to receive financial assistance for farming expenses. On the other hand, a person with familial connections easily takes out loans worth hundreds of millions and uses them for personal expenses such as buying luxury cars. To receive a loan worth a few million, the farmer is forced to mortgage their agricultural land, which is a form of land grabbing since many native lands in the region are sold to non-native individuals due to failure to pay back loans, leading to an increase in migration and cultural maladjustment and incompatibility.

Sometimes we see in the large embezzlements that occur in the country, an individual has received large loans from several banks without having a guarantor, and unfortunately no institution deals with the misconduct of these individuals; because corruption among high-ranking officials has turned into a norm and has become a trap for many officials in the country. On the other hand, the government does not have a specific plan to help the agricultural sector and with unprecedented droughts, the region is in dire need of a caring manager.

Nour Mohammad Torbatinejad, representative of the people of Gorgan and Aq Qala in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in an interview with Tasnim, considered the inefficiency of agriculture and serious environmental damages as the most important problems of Golestan province. On the other hand, the head of the Cooperative and Labor Department of Golestan province also refers to the 17% unemployment rate among young graduates in this province. It should be asked whether it is not better to use young graduates of the region for managing institutions? Because a native person has a much better understanding of the culture and language of the region compared to non-native individuals, and if the government can take advantage of these opportunities regardless of national and religious views, it will take a big step towards solving the problem of unemployment in the region.
