The value of Iran’s non-oil export to Afghanistan increased by four percent during the first seven months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-October 22), as compared to the same period of time in the past year, the spokesman of the International Relations and Trade Development Committee of Iran’s House of Industry, Mining and Trade announced.
Ruhollah Latifi said that Iran exported non-oil commodities worth $975.528 million to its neighbor Afghanistan in the seven-month period of this year. The economic adviser of the Iranian president’s special envoy in Afghanistan affairs said Iran has a 35 percent share in Afghanistan’s import market, which is a considerable figure in bilateral trade ties.—Tehran Times
