IRICA’s report said that 1.158 million tons of goods, valued at $5.141 billion, were imported by the knowledge-based companies into the country in the same period.
It added that nearly 85% of the goods imported by the knowledge-based companies were from China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey, Germany and India.
The Iranian knowledge-based companies exported their products to China, Iraq, the UAE, Turkey and Russia last year, the IRICA said.
In this period, the knowledge-based companies accounted for 2.6 and 5 percent of the country’s total exports in weight and value respectively.

China was Iran's first buyer of knowledge-based products in this period.
Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji stated earlier, in May, that the number of knowledge-based companies in the country had reached more than 676, adding that nearly a thousand contracts worth 1 billion dollars have been signed with these companies.
