Iran's National Export Day: Top Officials Discuss Traders' Obstacles

The National Day of Exports was marked in Iran on Sunday in a ceremony attended by top government officials and major economic players and traders.
According to Mojtaba Khosrotaj, the official at the helm of Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, 500 companies account for 82% of Iran's exports, IRNA reported. 
“Exports by two main sectors of steel and petrochemicals are twice the country’s traditional exports. Therefore, to improve the structure and diversify exports of the country, we need to increase the share of knowledge-based commodities and exports of technical, engineering and information technology services,” he said.
