Iran's Export of Iron Products Gains Luster

The share of iron products in Iran’s total non-oil exports increased noticeably, says the spokesman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration.
“With the growth in production and export of iron products, including semi-finished product, all kinds of rods, ingots, iron or steel plates, a total of $4.5 billion were exported during the current fiscal year’s first eight months [March 21-Nov. 21] compared with last year’s corresponding period, to account for 14.5% of total exports worth $31 billion during the period,” Rouhollah Latifi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
