The value of exports from Iran’s northern Gilan Province during the first two months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20-May 20) rose 16 percent compared to the same period of time in the previous year, according to a provincial official.
Farhad Dalq-Poush, the director-general of Gilan Province’s Industry, Mining and Trade Department told IRNA that 166,000 tons of commodities worth $80 million have been exported from the province during the mentioned two-month period, showing 33 percent growth in terms of weight.
With a share of 180 tons of goods valued at $33,000, Astara County accounted for the biggest part of the province’s two-month exports, the official said, adding Astara has special trading capacities and can operate as Iran's export center in the north of the country.
