Iran exported 3600 tons of almonds worth around $30 million in the past Iranian calendar year which ended on March 20, ILNA quoted Trade Promotion Organization of Iran official Mahmoud Bazari as saying.
India, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, and Qatar were the main importers of almonds from Iran.
Iran's agricultural exports grew last year, with pistachio and saffron sales almost doubling, despite Western sanctions on trade with the country, the Fars News Agency quoted Iran's deputy agriculture minister Jahangir Pourhemmat as saying.
"Exporst of farming products has increased 15 per cent compared to the previous year, while agricultural exports are still on the increase on a daily basis," Pourhemmat added.
Iran needs to work on the packaging in order to boost its fruits exports, officials say.
