BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 24. Iran's product exports via the Golestan Province in the country's northeast to Kazakhstan have increased threefold over the past three years, Darvish-Ali Hassanzadeh, the director-general of the province's industry, mining, and trade department, said at a meeting on the development of trade relations between the Golestan Province and Kazakhstan today, Trend reports.
He articulated that in juxtaposition to the temporal frame
spanning three years prior (from March 21, 2021, through March 20,
2022), this metric escalated to $149 million in the preceding
fiscal year (from March 20, 2024, through March 20, 2025);
conversely, three years prior, it constituted $43 million.
Hassanzadeh articulated that Kazakhstan possesses the potential to
serve as a pivotal player in the economic and trade advancement of
Iran, particularly within the context of Golestan Province. The
implementation of specialized logistical hubs in both nations is
pivotal for enhancing trade throughput between Iran and Kazakhstan,
and strategic initiatives can be undertaken in this domain.
It is pertinent to highlight that the data from the Iranian Customs
Administration indicates that during the initial bi-monthly period
of the ongoing Iranian fiscal year (spanning from March 21 to May
21, 2025), the trade volume between Iran and Kazakhstan reached
82,800 metric tons, with a corresponding valuation of $36 million.
The trade turnover experienced a contraction of 36.3 percent in
terms of monetary value and a reduction of 33.3 percent in weight
metrics when juxtaposed with the corresponding timeframe from the
previous year, specifically from March 20 to May 20, 2024.
