Iran ceases cement exports to Tajikistan
Iran has stopped exporting cement to Tajikistan three months ago
and cement export to Iraq is in ambiguity, Ebrahim Gholamzadeh,
managing director of Iran's Lamerd Cement Company said.
He added that no official has ever pursued to resolve the problem,
Iran's Tasnim news agency reported.
There is no organized management in exports of cement to Iraq, he
said, adding that this issue created ambiguity.
Iran exported around 18 million tons of cement in the previous
Iranian calendar year, which ended on March 20, 2014.
In the past Iranian year, Iran exported cement to 24 countries,
including Iraq, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Russia,
Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Qatar, Turkey, the United Arab
Emirates, Georgia, Oman, India, and China.
The country ranked first in the Middle East and third in the world
in terms of cement exports.
