    On Sunday, Hossein Hosseini, director general of Iran's fisheries agency, said in an interview with local media that China has imported a large number of Iranian white shrimp this year and expects imports to reach a new level
    in the coming months.
     
    As of the last fiscal year (March 2021 to March 2022), China imported more than 32,000 tonnes of Iranian white shrimp, accounting for 56% of Iran's
    exports, Hosseini said.
     
    Hosseini said that once prices in the Chinese market improve, Iran will continue to increase its white shrimp exports to China, and the trade volume of shrimp products between China and Iran will further grow
    significantly in the coming months to the end of the fiscal year (until March 2023).
     
    "We hope that exports to the Chinese market will grow
    significantly during the rest of the year.
    Overseas customers for Iranian white shrimp also include Russia, the UAE, Qatar and Oman
    .
    Between March and the end of November, Iran has exported 68,000 tonnes of white shrimp, and exports are expected to grow to 160,000 tonnes
    in 2025, Hosseini said.
     
    In recent years, the Iranian government has been encouraging increased exports of food and agricultural products to diversify the economy away from crude oil export earnings
    .
    Local experts commented that the policy clearly paid off, and the growth in the value of food and agricultural exports helped Iran offset the impact of
    US economic sanctions.
