Mohammad Salamati (Persian: محمد سلامتی‎) is an Iranian reformist politician and economist.[1]

Career

Salamati succeeded Reza Esfahani as the agriculture minister in September 1980 and held office until a cabinet change in 1983.[3] He was an advocate of food self-sufficiency[4] and believed "all other productive sectors of the economy were to be reoriented to meet the demands of the agricultural sector and not vice versa."[5] Salamati adopted a decentralization policy and transferred administration and servicing from Tehran to provinces.[3] In 1989, when he served as a member of the commission on financial and economic affairs in the Iranian Parliament, he criticized positioning Trade-Industrial Free Zones on borders.[6]
