Dogharoun border handling 70% of Iran’s exports to Afghanistan
Dogharoun also accounted for 34 percent of the province’s imports and 20 percent of inbound transit goods from Afghanistan to Iran during the same period.
Mohsen Rokni, head of the Dogharoun border terminal, says the crossing accounted for 70 percent of Iran’s exports to Afghanistan during the first half of the current solar year, making it the leading export gateway among border crossings in Iran’s Razavi Khorasan Province.
According to Rokni, Dogharoun also accounted for 34 percent of the province’s imports and 20 percent of inbound transit goods from Afghanistan to Iran during the same period.
He said major Iranian exports through the crossing include construction materials, steel products, food items, fruits and vegetables, and petroleum products.
Located near the Iranian city of Taybad along the Afghan border, Dogharoun remains a key trade and transit route between the two countries.
