Canned Tuna Exports Up 60% to $24m

A total of 6,210 tons of canned tuna worth $24 million were exported from Iran during the last fiscal year (March 2020-21), registering a 99.3% jump in weight and a 60% hike in value compared with the year before, according to Isa Golshahi, an official with Iran Fisheries Organization.
“Our main export destinations over the period under review were Iraq, Armenia, the littoral countries of Persian Gulf and member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States,” he was quoted as saying by IRNA.
Golshahi noted that production experienced a slight decline this year due to a fall in tuna fish harvest in Iran’s southern waters.
