TEHRAN - Parviz Kardovani, the discoverer of the hottest point on the earth, says that Chabahar would be a suitable area to cultivate certain types of fruit trees that don’t require irrigation, the Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.
Kardovani called on officials to pay more attention to the area which is Iran’s coolest costal city in summertime and the warmest in winter giving the ideal climate for fruit growing.“The trees are evergreen in Chabahar and banana trees there can produce about 1,070 bananas each,” he said.
Chabahar´s flat water is less polluted than that of the Persian Gulf, therefore, a six-month-old baby can easily float in the waters without problems; however, there are still oil spills in the area.
Chabahar is Iran's southernmost city, situated on the Makran Coast of Sistan and Baluchestan Province and has been officially designated as a Free Trade and Industrial Zone by the government
