Iran's Trade With EAEU Hit $3.4 Billion

Iran and the Eurasian Economic Union member states traded 8.68 million tons of commodities worth $3.4 billion in the last Iranian year (March 2020-21), according to the head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.
“Iran exported close to 2.68 million tons worth $1.05 billion to EEU states over the period, registering a 2% decline in value compared with the year before,” Mehdi Mirashrafi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
Imports from the bloc stood at 6 million tons worth $2.36 billion during the same period, showing a year-on-year decline of 1% in value.
“The decline in trade was due to restrictions concerning the Covid-19 pandemic as well as economic sanctions imposed on the country.”
Russia was Iran’s biggest trade partner among EEU member states.
