Iran exported 15 million tonnes of cement and clinker in 2015-16, down a fifth from the previous year.
Abdolreza Sheikhan, the Association of Cement Industry Entrepreneurs secretary, said that among the major export markets, Iraq (which accounted for 60% of shipments) raised tariffs from US$4 (€3.51) per tonne to US$13 during the year under review, while Azerbaijan has increased domestic production and reduced imports.
Iran now seeks to market cement in Africa and Central Asia.
