Iran set to export over 14,000t of cement to Somalia

Over 14,000t of cement is set to be exported from Iran’s southern island of Qeshm to Somalia, according to Iran Daily. "A 14,500t cargo of bagged cement produced in Qeshm will be exported to Somalia on a Tanzanian ship named AMINA-H," said Pejman Bahrami, deputy head for maritime transport and port affairs, Qeshm Free Zone Organization.

The loading of the bagged cement began on Tuesday and will take 4-5 days. The order comes as country officials recognise the need to reduce dependency on oil revenues.
