Non-oil exports hit $53.16 billion last year, which is a new record in Iran’s history, Ruhollah Latifi, the spokesman for the Trade Promotion Commission of Iran’s House of Industry, Mine and Trade, said.
The country’s non-oil trade has been near 160 million tons in weight and 112.8 billion dollars in worth in the past Iranian calendar year, the official said, adding that the latter shows an 11.2 percent increase compared with the preceding year.
According to Latifi, the previous highest record in non-oil exports from Iran had been reached nine years ago when the country shipped some $50.5 billion worth of goods.
As he announced, China, Iraq, Turkiye, United Arab Emirates and India have been the first five destinations for the exports of Iranian commodities over the last year.
