The Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) has reported impressive figures regarding the country’s non-oil exports, reflecting a significant growth trajectory. According to Mohammad Ali Dehghan Dehnavi, the head of TPOI, the total value of Iran’s non-oil exports reached $25.922 billion from March 21 to September 22, 2024, marking a six percent increase compared to the previous year.

During a recent press conference held in anticipation of the 29th National Day of Exports, Dehghan Dehnavi highlighted the remarkable achievements in the non-oil sector. He noted that the previous year (ending March 20, 2025) was a record-setting period for Iran’s non-oil exports, which soared to an astonishing $57 billion. This figure represents a 15.8 percent increase from the preceding year, showcasing the resilience and potential of Iran’s export sector.

In addition to the export figures, Dehghan Dehnavi provided insights into the country’s import activities during the first half of the current Iranian calendar year. From March 21 to September 22, 2024, Iran imported non-oil goods valued at $33.463 billion. However, there was a notable decline in imports during the same period in 2025, which amounted to $28.367 billion, reflecting a 15 percent decrease compared to the previous year.

This impressive performance in export growth comes at a crucial time when Iran is navigating complex economic challenges. The resilience shown in the non-oil sector not only strengthens the country’s economy but also positions Iran favorably in the regional and global markets.

Dehghan Dehnavi’s remarks during the press conference emphasized the significance of these achievements. He stated, “The growth in our non-oil exports is a testament to the hard work and determination of our exporters, who have strived to enhance the quality and quantity of Iranian goods in international markets.” This sentiment underscores the commitment of Iranian businesses to adapt and thrive despite external pressures.

Future Prospects for Iran’s Non-Oil Export Sector

Looking ahead, the TPOI is optimistic about sustaining this growth trajectory. Several factors are expected to contribute to further expansion in the non-oil export sector:

  1. Diverse Product Range: Iran is focusing on a wide array of non-oil goods, including agricultural products, textiles, and machinery, to enhance its export portfolio.
  2. Access to New Markets: Efforts are underway to explore and penetrate new markets, particularly in Asia and Africa, to diversify export destinations.
  3. Investment in Quality Improvement: Iranian manufacturers are increasingly investing in technology and quality improvement to meet global standards.
  4. Supportive Government Policies: The government is implementing policies aimed at supporting exporters, including financial incentives and reducing bureaucratic hurdles.

As Iran continues to build on its export capabilities, the prospects for the non-oil sector appear promising. The ongoing commitment from both the government and the private sector is vital for achieving sustainable growth in the coming years.

In conclusion, the significant advancements in Iran’s non-oil exports, coupled with a strategic approach to imports, reflect the country’s resilience and potential in the global market. With the right strategies and support, Iran’s non-oil export sector can continue to thrive, contributing to the overall economic stability and growth of the nation.
