The official touched upon background of exports from Bandar Lengeh to the State of Qatar stating “in the past, sand and livestock were shipped to the peninsular Arab country while now, given the emerged opportunities, exports of goods, especially food, fruit and vegetables, are being conducted with special facilities.
