This report comes alongside a broader increase in
the country's agricultural product exports, which saw a 26 percent rise in
value compared to the same period last year.
During this
timeframe, Iran exported 3.2 million tons of agricultural commodities, totaling
$1.7 billion in value, marking a 20 percent increase in volume year over year.
The preceding Iranian calendar year, ending March 19, witnessed a 22.5 percent
increase in the export value of agricultural and foodstuff products, as stated
by Ruhollah Latifi, the spokesman of the International Relations and Trade
Development Committee of Iran's House of Industry, Mining and Trade. Iranian producers managed to export
approximately $6.3 billion worth of these products during that year.
Agro-food
products comprised 12.8 percent of Iran's total non-oil exports in the previous
year. Iraq emerged as the leading importer of Iran's agro-food products,
accounting for 31.5 percent of the total exports in this category, with
purchases worth $1.986 billion. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Russia
followed, importing $751 million and $521.5 million worth of products,
respectively. The overall value of
Iran's foreign trade, including oil and technical engineering services, reached
$153.17.8 billion in the last Iranian calendar year.
