A senior Iranian trade official says the volume of Iran’s non-oil exports increased by 32 percent in the first two months of the current Iranian calendar year (started March 20, 2012), compared to the corresponding period a year ago.


Reza Tofighi, the vice president for marketing and relations adjustment at the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, said on Thursday the figure marks the Islamic Republic’s great stride concerning the export of non-oil products.

He noted that Iran aims to export USD 75 billion worth of various gas condensates and other non-oil products during the current Iranian calendar year.

Iranian Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Vajihollah Ja’fari said on May 15 that Iran's non-oil exports exceeded USD 45 billion in the past Iranian calendar year (ended March 19, 2012).

He added that Tehran plans to export as much as USD 70 billion worth of non-oil products in the current Iranian year (started March 20, 2012).

“The exports of mine and industrial products in the past [Iranian] year exceeded USD 12.5 billion, which represents a 42-percent growth compared to the year before,” Ja’fari further noted.

The Iranian deputy minister also lauded the positive effect of international conferences and fairs on trade development, saying they are an opportunity for the exchange of experiences between the domestic and international companies.

Earlier in May, Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi announced that the Islamic Republic aims to increase its non-oil exports to USD 70 billion in the current year.
