Iran’s non-oil exports reached $45 billion during the first ten months of the current Iranian calendar year. This achievement shows steady growth despite economic and political pressures. The Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) reported that over 130 million tons of goods left the country between March 21, 2025, and January 22, 2026. These shipments played an important role in supporting the national economy.
Compared to the previous year, Iran exported 128.19 million tons valued at $48.43 billion. While the weight increased slightly by 1.33 percent, the total value dropped by 6.30 percent. Experts say global market conditions contributed to this decline, but overall exports remained strong. China, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and Afghanistan were Iran’s top five markets. Together, they purchased most of the country’s shipments, highlighting the importance of regional trade relations.
Despite pressures, including regional conflicts and diplomatic tensions with European countries, Iran continued its trade activities. Officials said diversifying beyond oil revenue has been critical for maintaining economic stability. IRICA also noted improvements in customs processes and logistics. These measures allowed goods to move efficiently and helped maintain strong trade flows.
Officials added that Iranian businesses are expanding their presence in regional and global markets. New trade agreements boosted demand for Iranian products. Analysts believe these steps will support economic resilience in the coming years. Authorities stressed that non-oil exports remain a key strategy for reducing reliance on oil income. The government aims to develop value-added products and access new markets to sustain growth.
The report further highlighted that continuing investment in infrastructure and export services can increase efficiency and competitiveness. This will allow Iran to strengthen trade partnerships further. In conclusion, Iran’s exports of non-oil goods reached $45 billion in ten months. These results underline the importance of trade diversification and show the resilience of the national economy. Authorities remain optimistic that ongoing efforts will enhance Iran’s global trade position in the future.
