Abadan: The director of the Agriculture Jihad Department in Abadan city, Khuzestan Province, has announced that 13,848 tons of agricultural products were exported from the city's ports over the first nine months of the current year. In an interview with IRNA on Tuesday, Naji Shahibzadeh detailed that the main exported items included straw, pulses, onions, dates, and dried fruits, all shipped to countries in the Persian Gulf region.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Shahibzadeh emphasized that all exports were conducted in compliance with regulations, with plant quarantine experts inspecting shipments before export. He highlighted that the process ensures currency earnings and the preservation of global markets through a legal and efficient export procedure monitored by agricultural experts.

Shahibzadeh also noted that in December, 151 tons of onions were transited from Afghanistan to Kuwait via Abadan. This process was carried out with strict supervision over documentation and product quality. He explained that exports are conducted only after thorough verification of documents, mandatory inspections by quarantine specialists, and issuance of phytosanitary certificates, with approval through the Single Window for Foreign Trade (ePL) system.

Abadan's strategic location on the Arvand River provides it with three major ports-Arvandkenar, Chouebdeh, and Abadan Port-that play crucial roles in regional trade and economic activity.
