Introduction
Iran, with vast potential in renewable energy and agriculture, offers unique opportunities for sustainable investment. The presence of comprehensive tax exemptions in these sectors significantly increases investment attractiveness and reduces financial risk. This report explores opportunities, benefits, risks, and investment scenarios in Iran’s green and agricultural sectors.
Green Investment in Iran
Opportunities
- Renewable Energy: With abundant sunlight and wind-rich regions, Iran has strong potential for solar and wind farms. Investments in free trade zones and special economic areas benefit from up to 20 years of tax exemption.
- Waste Management and Recycling: Projects aimed at pollution reduction and recycling enjoy tax incentives and access to bank facilities.
- Green Buildings: Construction projects meeting environmental standards not only reduce energy costs but also benefit from tax incentives.
Benefits
- Lower operational costs through clean energy.
- Long-term tax exemptions.
- Enhanced institutional credibility and brand reputation domestically and internationally.
Agricultural Investment in Iran

According to Article 81 of Iran’s Direct Taxation Law, income derived from agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, fisheries, and related industries is fully exempt from taxation.
- Crop Production and Horticulture: Tax-free income, especially for export-oriented products.
- Animal Husbandry and Fisheries: Complete tax exemption for livestock and aquaculture.
- Agro-processing Industries: Processing and packaging (e.g., dried fruits, dairy products) also benefit from broad exemptions.
- Smart and Greenhouse Farming: Investments in modern agricultural technologies enjoy both tax exemptions and government-backed financial support.
