Over 4.295mln tons of goods were transited via Iran during the first four months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-July 22), showing a 13 percent rise compared with the same period last year. Some 95 percent of the goods were transited by road and the rest by rail. The transited consignments mostly consisted of fuel, construction materials, cotton, home appliances, vehicles, foodstuff and fertilizers, the Iranian Mehr News Agency reported. Deputy Iranian Road and Urban Development Minister Shahriyar Afandizadeh said that Iran has the capacity to transit 40mln tons of goods annually.
