    Renewable power generation capacity to hit 12,000MW by next March

    ‘Shifting export track from raw material sales to finished goods, a necessity’ TEHRAN- The Head of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPO), during a meeting with representatives and the board of directors of the Iran Guilds Chamber, announced the formulation of a new roadmap for a leap in non-oil exports and emphasized the strategic necessity of transitioning from raw and semi-raw material exports to high-value-added finished goods. According to the Public Relations Department of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, this meeting was held with the aim of explaining new structures for guild participation in the international supply chain and examining operational solutions to remove administrative, currency, and regulatory obstacles facing guild exporters. The Head of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran, pointing to the structural challenge of the country's trade balance from a qualitative perspective, stated: One of the fundamental and problematic issues in foreign trade is the low average value of export goods compared to import items. Currently, the average value per ton of the country's export goods is about $300, while this figure for imported goods reaches about $2,000 per ton. This deep gap indicates the continuation of the traditional approach and reliance on raw material sales in the country's economy. Emphasizing the need to enhance Iran's position in the global value chain, he added: A major portion of our non-oil exports is concentrated in upstream industries such as the steel chain, iron ore, pellets, and ingots, whose marketing and sales, due to the nature of raw materials, lack the scientific complexities of trade. In contrast, production and distribution guilds deal with a chain of finished and ready-to-consume goods (such as furnitu
