Exports to Iraq From Mehran Crossing Exceed $120m in Two Months

More than 280,000 tons of commodities worth $124 million were exported to the neighboring Iraq from Ilam Province’s Mehran border crossing during the first two months of the current Iranian year (March 21-May 21), according to the director general of Ilam Customs Office.
“The main exported products included construction material, fruits and vegetables, industrial and plastic products, glass and sheet glass, home appliances and metal products,” Rouhollah Gholami was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The official noted that over the same period of last year, exports to Iraq from Mehran checkpoint reached a meager $600,000, due to the strict restrictions imposed on trade as a result of the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
