Iran to improve rank in Oman exports
In the first specialized meeting of the Agriculture and Food Industries Commission of the Iran-Oman Joint Chamber of Commerce, which was held with the participation of managers from more than 60 active companies in the field of exports and imports to Oman, Iran will enhance its export ranking to Oman by the end of the Iranian calendar year (March 19).
Oman’s import value in recent years has exceeded $30 billion and, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO) statistics, despite Iran’s geographical proximity, the country holds the tenth position in exports to Oman, according to ISNA.
Food product exports are among the items that have the highest value and profitability for Oman, and soft customs regulations in Oman and the freedom of currency exchange have made exports to the country appealing for traders and merchants, said Neseredin Eslami-fard, the head of the Agriculture and Food Industries Commission of the Chamber of Commerce of Iran and Oman.
Oman serves as a bridge between the Arabian Peninsula, East Asia, India, and the Persian Gulf, and due to the favorable political, economic, and religious and cultural ties between the two countries, which have a deep historical background, Iranian traders can seize the golden opportunity in Oman for exports to the country and to African and Arab nations.
