20-Fold Rise in Exports From Razi Rail Border

A total of 18,000 tons of goods worth $41 million were exported from Razi border crossing in West Azarbaijan’s Khoy County via 813 cargo wagons during the first month of the current Iranian year (March 20-April 19), showing a sevenfold and 20-fold rise in tonnage and value respectively compared with the similar period of last year. 
“Razi is the only border crossing between Iran and Turkey, which has not been closed due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. All health protocols are being meticulously followed and a disinfection station has been set up at the border so trade between the two sides can continue without any problem,” superintendent of Razi Rail Customs Administration, Seifollah Rasi, was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The main exported items were polyethylene, urea, copper ingots and watermelons.
