Tehran, January 10, 2024 (MRUD NEWS)—The third shipment of citrus fruit since November, 2023 was exported to Russia through Amirabad Port in Mazandaran Province on January 3, 2024. 

The 16 TEU container shipment is done after the removal of all export barriers and direct supply to the Russian market. 

Due to the capacities in this port and reduced time and costs of loading and unloading, more agricultural products will be shipped to CIS countries via this port.
