Agriculture and climate
 | This section needs additional citations for verification. (September 2023) |
Bashagard experiences cold winters and hot, dry summers, but the climate is more tolerable in areas that are nearer to the mountains. Garlic from the county is of extremely high quality because it is aromatic, sharp, and pungent. Dates are one of the county's most significant agricultural products. Pomegranates and figs are among the available seasonal fruits.
Wild cherry (also known as bestel, which is especially crucial for treating anemia in medicine), bitter almonds, wild pistachios, and cumin are some of the other goods produced in the highlands throughout the various seasons. Wild edible mushrooms, also referred to as "Akhur" locally, are a highly favored and nutrient-dense food that flourishes in the highlands during the winter.
Bashagard honey is of the highest quality and is exported to nations along the Persian Gulf as well as further abroad.
