A total of 220,000 tons of goods were transported through Golestan Province’s Incheh Borun railroad to Turkmenistan during the first 11 months of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2020-Feb. 18).
The figure breaks an all-time record, according to the director general of the Northeast Railways.
“Cement accounted for 100,000 tons of the total exported products. Other main exports were iron products, tiles, dates, detergents and apples,” Mohsen Etemad was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Last year’s exports through Incheh Boroun railroad stood at 144,000 tons.
“We expect this year’s figure to reach 300,000 tons by the [fiscal] yearend [March 19],” he said.
After the outbreak of Covid-19 in Iran, exports via Incheh Borun railroad to the neighboring Turkmenistan was suspended in February for 100 days.
