As per Iran’s Afsaneh Mehrabi, Director General-Weaving and Garment Industries Department, the country’s garment exports grew 98 per cent to reach over $113 million during the previous Iranian calendar year 1399 that ended March 20, 2021. Mehrabi said production of garments and textile products in the previous Iranian calendar year increased 25 per cent compared to previous year. She also said production of the said commodities had increased by 20 per cent in the Iranian calendar year 1398 (ended on March 19, 2020) compared to its previous year.

The Iranian government decided to ban the import of such products to support domestic producers and provide them with an opportunity to improve the quality of products and turn more competitive in global markets, a news agency reported.

According to the chairman of Tehran’s Union of Garments Manufacturers and Sellers, domestic units are supplying 70-80 per cent of the requirement for clothing inside the country.
