The highest amount of import of basic goods was related to
Imam Khomeini port (in southwestern Khuzestan province), Ali-Akbar Safaei
noted.
"Currently, 17 ships are unloading and loading goods at
the same time," he said, adding, "We need 75,000 trucks to distribute
basic commodities."
“We unload the basic commodities in the shortest time and we
do not have to worry about the supply of the basic commodities”, the official
added.
"We will use the power of all knowledge-based companies
to supply spare parts as well as low-sulfur fuel," the PMO head said,
adding, "One of our main plans is to increase and prosper trade."
According to the data released by Transport and Urban
Development Ministry, 16.85 million tons (mt) of basic commodities were cleared
from the country’s ports in the first eight months of the current Iranian
calendar year (March 21-November 21).
