TEHRAN- The value of Iran’s garment exports rises 26 percent in the past Iranian calendar year (ended on March 20, 2019), according to an official at the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade.

Afsaneh Mehrabi, the director general of Weaving and Garment Industries Department of the ministry, also said that the weight of garment exports has increased 30 percent during the past calendar year, Mehr news agency reported.

The rise has come under the very difficult condition that the country’s economy and weaving industry faced in the previous year, the official noted.
