Iran Reports 33% Increase in Transit of Oil, Non-Oil Products
According to the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development, the statistical comparison of transit performance in July of this year with the same period last year and previous years indicates the growing trend of this index.
The total non-oil and oil transit performance of the road and rail sectors in July, 2003, reached 1,066,500 tons which shows a 33% increase compared to July, 2023, with nearly 801,300 tons of transit.
Deputy Minister of Transport of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development Shahriar Afandizadeh said that the ministry lays special emphasis on the development of bilateral and multilateral transport and transit relations with the neighboring, regional and trans-regional states and members of transit corridors in which Iran participates and it is expected that this initiative would make the country's international ties in the field of transportation and transit more purposeful, effective and intelligent.
In a relevant development in June, the statistics released by Iranian costumes administration (IRICA) showed that the country exported 12.5 billion worth of non-oil goods in spring.
“In the spring, 35,500,000 tons of goods worth $12.5 billion were exported from the country, without taking into account the exports of crude oil, fuel oil, kerosene and other trade done in cash. In the meantime, 8,600,000 tons of goods valued at $14 billion were imported into the country.,” the figures released by Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) showed.
During the period, Iran's non-oil exports increased by 24.42% in weight and decreased by 8.84% in value compared to the same period last year, while imports increased by 1% and 5.79% in weight and value, respectively, the IRICA statistics further indicated.
The report added that due to the decrease in global prices of some commodities, including petrochemical products, which increased by 16% in weight, but decreased by 18% in value, the total amount of Iran's non-oil exports witnessed changes in weight and value.
This spring, corn, soybeans, sunflower seed oil, rice, wheat, and barley were the major data-x-items imported into Iran, accounting for 15.56% in weight and 19.79% in value of the country's total imports.
