Major Iranian Steelmakers Export 1.2m Tons, Up 25% YOY

Major Iranian steelmakers exported 1.27 million tons of semi-finished and finished steel products during the first two months of the current fiscal year (March 21-May 21) to register a 25% growth year-on-year, according to data released by Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization.
The companies shipped 858,974 tons of steel during the second month of the year (April 21-May 21), which indicates a 36% YOY rise following an unpromising performance during the month before.
The data used here are preliminary statistics offered by IMIDRO on Iran's top-scale producers and lacks details on most private producers' shipments. 
A more complete report is usually published by Iran Steel Producers Association a few weeks later.
