The four-day event will host about 300 Iranian and foreign companies, IRNA reported.
In January, IRNA quoted Trade Promotion Organization’s Deputy Director Kiyumars Fathollah Kermanshahi as saying that Iran has set a target of earning $1 billion in furniture exports over the next 3-5 years.
The issue of attaining one percent share in the global furniture trade is seriously pursued, he noted.
He put the current value of global furniture trade at around $270 billion.
Unfortunately, Iran exported just $12 million worth of furniture last year, which was a tiny figure compared with the global trade, he added.
