Ali Shariati Moghaddam, regarding why the export of Khorasan Razavi province has decreased, stated in the 60th dialogue council of the government and the private sector of the province in Mashhad Chamber of Commerce: At present, export facilities and rates are not responsible for exports.
He added that the export rate has now risen from 8% to 18%, and the 10% share to be applied in the export sector has been reduced to less than 1%.
Shariati Moghaddam emphasized that exports should be the main axis of development and said: the necessary attention should be paid to the large export capacities that exist in Khorasan Razavi province.
