Razi expands vaccine exports, eyes wider presence in West Asia
The head of Iran’s Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute said the institute’s products have been registered and marketed in several foreign countries, with negotiations under way to expand exports to more markets across West Asia.
“In the first six months of this year (began on March 21), about $1.3 million worth of various vaccines were exported,” Ali Es-haqi said, IRNA reported.
He added that several countries have requested to purchase the institute’s products and that “talks over financing and delivery are progressing well.”
The institute has already exported vaccines for livestock and poultry, and coordination is under way to expand exports to other types of vaccines.
Highlighting the institute’s contribution to promoting knowledge-based exports, Es-haqi said the Razi institute aims to boost its share in regional and international markets.
“Given our scientific and technical capacity, we expect to see significant growth in the export of medical and veterinary products this year and next,” he said.
