Abstract

The countrywide imbalance between supply and water demand is one of the most important issues of water resources management in Iran, especially in the agricultural sector. In this regard, international exchange of agricultural products and virtual water trade, which is defined as the water embedded in goods, can be regarded as a means to manage water resources. Sugar beet is amongst the low productivity products in the country with high water demands. In this research, the amount of pure water demand and the virtual water associated to production of sugar beet, sugarcane, and the corresponding produced sugar is calculated using the Cropwat software. We also investigated the virtual water exchange and its dependency on other countries. During 2005-2014, the major origins of importing sugar were from UAE, Brazil, Switzerland, England and India. It is shown that in the case of importing sugar from such countries instead of national production of sugar during that period, about 13 billion cubic meters of water could have be saved. However due to different risks of security and climate change, increasing of country’ s Water Dependency on other countries should take into consideration the long-term effects of virtual water import. The concept of a reliable level of virtual water trade is expected to be embedded in export/import policy making as an important issue in terms of water and food security.
