Eighty percent of Iran's trade is being made with neighboring
countries, according to an official with the knowledge of the
issue, Trend reports
citing IRNA .
Ahmadreza Alaei, deputy head of Iran's Trade Promotion
Organization, said on Sunday that a reduction in Iran's exports to
Iraq and Afghanistan is not a source of concern and is rather due
to natural fluctuations.
He said that the main cause of reduction in Iran's exports to
the two neighboring countries is political changes and lack of
political stability in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
The official also said that another reason for the fall in
Iran's trade with Iraq and Afghanistan is a change in domestic
policies of the two countries.
“Both countries are after supporting their national production
and as a result of that, a number of commodities that we used to
export to these countries have no more customer,” Alaei said.
He said for instance that Afghanistan has no plan to import
plastic products anymore and Iraq is seeking to stop the imports of
its agricultural needs.
