Bottled water exports from Iran earned $10 million in the fiscal 2021-22 (ended March 20), marking a twofold rise compared to the previous year, according to Peyman Forouhar, secretary of Mineral and Potable Water Producers and Exporters Association.
The official noted that Russia accounted for 70% of the exports.
“Notably, Russia did not have any share of Iran’s bottled water export during the five preceding years,” he was quoted as saying by IRIB News.
Forouhar noted that Iran’s capacity to export bottled water is much higher than the latest export figure, although exports are facing major problems such as higher prices and transportation costs.
