BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 3. Product exports through North Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran grew by five percent in value and eight percent in weight from March 21 through June 21, 2025, compared to the same period last year (from March 20 through June 20, 2024), Director General of the Customs Administration of South Khorasan Province Mohammad Kouhgerd said at a meeting of the province’s export development working group, Trend reports.
As per his analysis, over the course of the preceding trimester,
the province achieved an export volume of 683,000 metric tons of
commodities, translating to a fiscal valuation of $195 million.
Kouhgerd reported that 424,000 metric tons of these exports,
appraised at $85 million, were generated domestically, reflecting a
140 percent escalation in valuation and a 44 percent augmentation
in mass relative to the corresponding timeframe of the previous
year.
The representative elucidated that the principal commodities in the
export portfolio encompassed iron ingots, cement, bitumen, metal
products, eggs, and ceramics, predominantly dispatched to
Afghanistan, Türkiye, Pakistan, Iraq, and Turkmenistan.
"Across the province, a total of 1,550 metric tons of goods, with a
valuation of $3.3 million, were imported over the quarter,
signifying a staggering 460 percent escalation in monetary worth
and an 800 percent surge in volumetric weight relative to the
previous year," he elaborated.
The statistics derived from Iran’s Customs Administration indicate
that the nation’s non-oil export metrics reached an approximate
valuation of $11.7 billion, encompassing a volume of 34.5 million
tons over the specified quarterly timeframe. In juxtaposition to
the corresponding timeframe of the preceding fiscal year, non-oil
export metrics exhibited a contraction of 14.4 percent in monetary
valuation and a decline of 9.3 percent in volumetric weight.
Concurrently, Iran's procurement of non-hydrocarbon commodities
reached nine million tons, aggregating a fiscal outlay of $13
billion, which reflects an 11.7 percent contraction in monetary
valuation and a 4.35 percent reduction in volumetric weight
relative to the corresponding timeframe of the previous annum.
