Iran's Trade With Russia Surpasses $800 Million in Four Months

Iran and Russia traded $805 million worth of goods during the first four months of the current fiscal year (March 21-July 22).
According to Hadi Tizhoush Taban, e chairman of Iran-Russia Chamber of Commerce, Iran’s exports to Russia stood at $333 million during the period, registering a 38% growth in terms of value year-on-year.
Nuts and dried fruit, fresh fruit and vegetable, plastic, fibers, iron and steel were the main exported products.
“Part of the 38% rise was due to an increase in foreign exchange rates [against the Iranian rial] as it was partly due to the lightening of problems caused by the coronavirus," he said.
Imports from Russia stood at $472 million during the same period, registering an 8% decline compared with the corresponding period of last year.
