Some $5.607 billion of the total $12 billion non-oil exports of Iran during the first four months of the current calendar year (began on March 20) have been exported from three provinces of Bushehr, Tehran, Khuzestan, the IRIB reported.

Iran exported some $12 billion worth of non-oil goods in the first four months of this year, the head of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI), Hamid Safdel, said.

He told the Mehr news agency that the exports grew by 24.6 percent compared to the same period last year.

Iraq, China and UAE were the main destinations for the Iranian goods, he noted.

TPOI has set the target of $75 billion for non-oil exports for this year, Safdel said in March.

Previously, the Customs Administration head announced that Iran had exported around $43.7 billion worth of non-oil goods in the past calendar year and imported some $61.8 billion worth of goods, to hit the unprecedented mark of $105 billion in annual trade.

Abbas Memarnejad said non-oil exports rose by 28 percent compared to the year before, while imports declined by four percent, the Fars mews agency reported.

Iran has scaled up its trade with 160 countries this year, despite being embattled with global economic sanctions, Memarnejad said in April.
