25% increase in the price of goods due to the delay in the clearance of goods from the ports
Mohammad Egharloo, Secretary of Transportation & Logistics Federation of Iran (TLFI)

According to statistics, out of 350,000 towing trucks active on the country’s roads, 116,000 towing trucks are over 20 years old. Although measures have been taken in recent years to modernize the country’s public transport fleet, none of these solutions have been successful and the country’s roads are still seeing the traffic of retired tractors.
Hence, in the field of transportation of basic goods in the country, we are witnessing mismanagement, which causes the loss of a part of the basic goods for which huge costs have been paid. In addition, during this process, the final product that reaches the end consumer increases in price by about 25%, and during the stoppage of the product on the ship, over time, the product loses its quality due to pollution and pest infestation.
