Iran announces ban on export of certain agro products
By Trend
The Iranian government has banned the export of 18 agricultural
products, according to the country’s Customs Administration.
According to a directive issued by Ali Akbar Shadmani, an official
with the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration, the
export of 18 agricultural products have been banned until further
notice, IRIB news agency reported on July 7.
The banned products include maize, wheat, powder, barely, oats, raw
and palm oil, alfalfa, sorghum, oil seeds, fish and meat protein
powders, and rye, the report said.
The move came after the Iranian minister of industry, mine and
trade on June 20 banned the import of 1,339 commodities categorized
as "non-essential goods with domestic counterparts".
The decisions came after the Iranian rial plunged to a record low
against the US dollar on the unofficial market last week amid fears
of returning US sanctions after President Donald Trump in May
withdrew from a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.
