YAZD, Feb. 18 (MNA) – The Chairman of Iran National Carpet Center has said the exports of the current year have been improved compared with those in few recent years.

Hamid Kargar who was attending the opening ceremony of Yazd national carpet exhibition on Wednesday said that Iran’s exports to more than 80 countries exceeded $235mn, showing 21 per cent growth in terms of value. “Germany, Sweden, Japan, and the UAE are the main destinations of Iranian carpet; Yazd has a good place in carpet exports, with Germany as the main destination of the carpets woven in the province,” he told reporters.
