Recession in Khuzestan date export market

The vice-president of the Khuzestan Dried Exporters Union said that the date export market has stagnated.
Yaghoub Khezri stated: Date exporters are currently facing a recession in the market and the reluctance of foreign customers; The emergence of such problems in the date export market is due to issues such as sanctions and the economic crisis of the countries that buy dates.
Customer countries such as Australia and Europe are currently facing economic crises, and this position has reduced the purchasing power of the people of these countries, he said.
Of course, sanctions have also exacerbated the problems, and therefore the governments of some countries are asking their buyers and economic actors to impose sanctions on the purchase of dates, and this has led to a decrease in the desire of date customers.
Vice President of Khuzestan Dried Exporters Union continued: Lack of return and receipt of foreign exchange from exports is another problem of the date export market; The turmoil in the foreign exchange market has caused problems for exporters so that they do not know at what price to sell their product and the exchange rate in the market is not fixed.
Khezri regarding the announcement of the responsible officials that the exchange rate is fixed, said: government currency at a fixed rate and at a price of 1225 Tomans is given only to importers and exporters do not receive government currency.
He added: Currently, dates are left in the hands of most production workshops and the responsible authorities should think fundamentally to solve such problems; Because export problems are separate from imports, and if the importer encounters currency fluctuations in the import process, he can impose the cost of currency fluctuations on the product and sell his product at a higher price.
