Decline in Hand-Woven Carpet Exports

Iran exported hand-woven carpets worth $47.91 million during the eight months to Nov. 20, the spokesman of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration said. 
“The carpet exports marked a $755,000 decrease compared with the similar period of last year, which appears reasonable given the outbreak of coronavirus and closure of borders,” Rouhollah Latifi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
As per the budget bill of the next year (March 2021-22), the government will allocate 155.5 billion rials ($609,803) to improve the country’s hand-woven carpet exports through local and international marketing. It has also projected the extension of financial support worth 50 billion-rial ($196,078) to Iran Hand-Woven Rural Central Union.
