据说19世纪初期,英国的一位大使John Malcolm爵士将马铃薯传入波斯王室。有一段时间,这种块茎作物被称为“Malcolm李子”,但今天的伊朗人则称其为“地下苹果”。
伊朗是世界排名第12的马铃薯生产国,在亚洲名列第四,仅次于中国、印度和孟加拉国。自1961年以来,产量增长了15倍多。在2007年,该国农民收成达到520万吨——有史以来最好成绩,平均每公顷产量超过25吨。马铃薯是伊朗主要农业出口产品之一,2005年的总装运量大约为16.6万吨。
大多数马铃薯是在灌溉条件下与小麦、蔬菜、甜菜进行轮作,每三年或四年休耕一次,主要产区在里海南岸周围、扎格罗斯山脉以及南部低地。
食用品质绝佳的传统品种仍在北部山区继续种植。
