Raisin Exports From Malayer Exceed $24 Million in Fiscal 2021-22

More than 18,500 tons of raisins worth $24.2 million were exported from Hamedan Province’s Malayer County in the last Iranian year (March 2021-22), registering a 3% and 4% decline in weight and value respectively compared with the year before, according to a local customs official. 
“The main reason for the decline in exports was the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which are among our main export destinations,” Nasser Torkashvand was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
The official noted that raisins accounted for the lion’s share of total exports from Malayer during the period.
