Handmade Carpet Exports Expected to Reach $50m in Fiscal 2021-22

Iran’s handmade carper exports are expected to reach $50 million by the end of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2022), says Morteza Miri, a member of Handmade Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Union’s board of directors.
“The figure is $15 million lower than last year’s exports. A total of $39 million worth of carpets weighing 2,500 tons were exported in the first eight months of the current [Iranian] year [March 21-Dec. 21],” he was also quoted as saying by the news portal of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
The Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration’s data show handmade carpet export reached its peak in the fiscal 1993-94 with $2 billion but as of the fiscal 2018-19, a downtrend started and reached $70 million in the fiscal 2019-20 and $50 million in the fiscal 2020-21.
