Tehran, Sept 29, IRNA -- Iran plans to increase the total value of
its industrial exports to Afghanistan this year by 300 million
dollars, the English-language daily, Tehran Times, wrote on
Wednesday.
The daily quoted Ministry of Industries and Mines Director-General
Ahmad Qasemi as saying that if the plan is achieved, the amount would
mean a 50 percent growth compared to the value of exports in the
previous year.
Iran's total industrial and mineral exports to countries abroad
reached 4 billion dollars during the said period, he added.
He said his ministry has set a target of one-and-a-half billion
dollars until the end of the year (March 20, 2005).
Currently, Iran exports more than 1000 kinds of industrial
products to countries abroad such as medicines, detergents, chemical
and petrochemical substances, plastics and melamine, tires,
cellulose, mineral products, various kinds of metals and fabrics,
thread, synthetic fibers, shoes, cars and auto spare parts.
