2 Iran Logistics Infrastructure
Overview
The transportation logistics infrastructure in Iran is well developed and organized, covering the four main shipment options – road, rail, air, and sea.
Road Infrastructure
Iran has long paved road system linking most of its towns and all of its cities. In 2016 the country had 221,000 km (137,323) of roads, of which 73% were paved. According to global statistics of 2020, there are 218 private vehicles per 1000 population in the county.
Railway
Trains operate on 14,078 km (8,747 mi) of railroad track. The country’s major port of entry is Bandar-Abbas on the Strait of Hormuz. After arriving in Iran, imported cargos are distributed throughout the country by trucks and freight trains. The Tehran-Bandar-Abbas railroad, opened in 1995, connects Bandar-Abbas to the railroad system of Central Asia via Tehran and Mashhad. Other major ports include Bandar e-Anzali and Bandar e-Torkeman on the Caspian Sea and Khorramshahr and Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni on the Persian Gulf. Chabahar-Zahedan railway is the most important under construction railway project of Iran which on the first phase will connect Chabahar port to Zahedan city and then to Milak border with Afghanistan and on the second phase will connect Zahedan city to Sarakhs border with Turkmenistan.
Aviation
Iran has several private and public airline companies in operation. The oldest is the Iranian Airways Company, founded in 1944 (known as Iran Air since 1961). As of June 2009, Iranian planes fly 45 international flight routes. Most of the fleet of Iranian airlines today consist of old airplanes, due to the international sanctions that prevents Iran from purchasing new aircraft to update its fleet.
As of 2013, Iran had 319 airports which made Iran the 22nd country in the world with most airports. Almost all the main cities in Iran have airports and more than 20 of the airports have international flights. Imam Khomeini airport in Tehran has the most international flights and is the Iran’s biggest airport.
Ports
Iran on the north is connected to Caspian Sea which through the 3 main ports connects the country to Russia on the north, the Republic of Azerbaijan to the west, and Turkmenistan to the east. The majority of Iran imports and exports are handling through eight important ports on the south that connects Iran to open oceans. The Port of Shahid Rajaie in Bandar Abbas City is the most important port in Iran but is currently under international sanctions and there is no direct international shipping line to this port. Chabahar Port on the south east of Iran is another important port of Iran that recently Iran has made several investments to improve the port infrastructure and make it one of the transit hubs for the neighbouring countries.

2.2 Iran Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: http://worldaerodata.com/
Dozens of cities have airports that serve passenger and cargo planes. Iran Air, the national airline, was founded in 1962 and operates domestic and international flights. All large cities have mass transit systems using buses, and several private companies provide bus service between cities. Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, Tabriz, Ahwaz and Esfahan are in the process of constructing underground mass transit rail lines.
Iran’s airports are improving their international connections. In May 2007 international flights into the capital, Tehran, were moved to the Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA), just outside the city because of capacity constraints at the existing central Mehrabad Airport.

Iran's civil aviation agency defined two categories of forbidden and high risk for the countries that are facing high rate of COVID infection. International flights to or from the forbidden countries can not happen and for high risk countries, the passangers should do a PCR test before entering into the country. This is a dynamic list and it is important that the travelers check the last status of the Iran COVID restriction before planning their trips.

International Corridors Leading to the Country
Russia, Iran and India signed an agreement laying out a vision for a North-South Transport Corridor. The corridor stretches from ports in India across the Arabian Sea to the southern Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, where goods then transit Iran and the Caspian Sea to ports in Russia’s sector of the Caspian. From there, the route stretches along the Volga River via Moscow to northern Europe.
Officially opened in 2000 by Russian, Iranian and Indian representatives, the transport corridor (ITC) South - North connects the European community countries via Russia - Iran - India to the South and Southeast Asia states and the Middle East. ITC is a combined railway - waterway route passing through: port Mumbai (India) - Arabian sea port Bandar-Abbas (Iran), further through the Iranian soil to the Caspian port of Enzeli (Iran) – across the Caspian sea to port Olya (Astrakhan, Russia) – by Volga-Baltic system of the rivers and channels to river ports of Moscow and seaport in Saint Petersburg (Baltic sea) or port Murmansk (Kola Gulf), and further to the Western Europe.

Construction and Maintenance
The railroad is in very good condition, regular maintenance is done and extensions and improvements are ongoing. The network, however, is under-developed. The railway serves as the nearest and cheapest means of access for Central Asian countries. All of the routes end in transit entry points. Only very few side-lines have been built so far. In such a layout transit cargo transport is dominating. 3 million tons of transit cargo was shipped by rail on the main transit track from and to Bandar Abbas. The total cargo transport figure for the same lines is 5.5 million tons per year. The trend is going up. The overall transport capacity is 9,000 mt daily.
The condition of the rolling equipment is good and reliable. Maintenance and replacement is done. Scheduled trains run on time. The type of traffic is both, passenger and cargo.

2.5 Iran Waterways Assessment
Overview
There are no major rivers in the country. Of the small rivers and streams, the only one that is navigable is the 830 km (520 mi)-long Karun, which shallow-draft boats can negotiate from Khorramshahr to Ahvaz, a distance of about 180 km (110 mi). Other major rivers include the Kharkeh, spanning 700 kilometres (430 mi) and joining the Tigris; and the Zayandeh River, which is 300 km (190 mi) long. Several other permanent rivers and streams also drain into the Persian Gulf, while a number of small rivers that originate in the north-western Zagros or Alborz drain into the Caspian Sea. On the Central Plateau, numerous rivers—most of which have dry beds for the greater part of the year—form from snow melting in the mountains during the spring and flow through permanent channels, draining eventually into salt lakes that also tend to dry up during the summer months. There is a permanent salt lake, Lake Urmia in the northwest, whose brine content is too high to support fish or most other forms of aquatic life. There are also several connected salt lakes along the Iran-Afghanistan border in the province of Sistan & Baluchestan.

2.7 Iran Milling Assessment
Overview
The Government Trading Corporation (GTC) is in control of grain and flour production and importation in Iran. It gives the standards for quality and controls the products. (A staple diet in Iran is bread.) The overall milling capacity is able to cope with the requirements of the country. In addition, there is an overcapacity already built. Wheat flourmills are situated in wheat production regions and close to transit entry points, such as ports. In Ahwaz, 167 km from the Bandar Imam Khomeini port, there are four mills and near Bandar Abbas are also three mills. The whole country's milling capacity is 30 million mt per year. These mills produced last year 15.5 million mt of wheat flour. That performance can be increased according to demand.

3 Iran Services and Supply
In comparison to the neighbouring countries, transportation in Iran, especially road transportation, is quite cost efficient. The government keeps the fuel price down and as a result movement of goods in the country is quite cost efficient. Due to the access of Iran to the open oceans, the Iranian international road transporters are quite active in Iran, transporting the goods from Persian Gulf to the neighbouring countries. As Iran is a member of CMR and TIR convention, international road transporters also are active in moving the goods to the neighbouring countries.

3.1 Iran Fuel
Fuel Overview
In the past, Iran had limited domestic fuel refining capacity, and domestic demand relied on imports of refined products, especially gasoline. In response to international sanctions and the resulting difficulty in purchasing refined products, Iran’s domestic refining capacity expanded. As a result, since 2018 and after completion of several refinery projects Iran stopped importing petrol and began exporting this product. One of the strategies to control inflation in the country have always been subsidizing petrol price. The price difference of petrol in Iran and neighbouring countries encourages fuel trafficking. After the re-imposition of US sanctions on Iran in 2018, the value of Iran currency (Iranian Rial) decreased to it’s lowest value and resulted to even bigger petrol price gap inside and outside of Iran that led to on average 10 million litters a day.
For more information on government and fuel provider contact details, please see the following links: 4.1 Government Contact List and 4.7 Fuel Providers Contact List.
Information may also be found at: http://www.mytravelcost.com/petrol-prices/ which is updated monthly.
Fuel Pricing
Fuel prices are fixed by government of Iran. The government subsidies fuel and each car owner is entitled to certain amount of fuel in one month – 60 L – that can be purchased at the price of IRR 15,000 IRR. Thereafter, fuel can be purchased at price of 30,000 IRR.
|
Fuel Prices per Litre as of: 17 January 2022 |
|
|---|---|
|
Petrol |
30,000 Rials / 0.12 US$ |

3.2 Iran Transporters
Overview
In the 50th session of 'State Administrative High Council' according to the common proposal of the 'Road and Transport Ministry' and 'Civil Service and Administrative Affairs Organization' with separating the duties of Road and Transport from respective ministry organizations and integrating into 'Special Stock Company of Good Public Transport Terminals', State Terminals and Transport Organization was established and the first formation of 'State Terminals and Transport Organization' was approved in 1995. At the outset, this organization had two affiliated company in the name of 'Islamic Republic of Iran Transport Company' and 'IRI International Transport Company' which according to the ratification of High Council Administration 'IRI Transport Company' was separated from organization in 2002 and the name of the organization changed to 'Road Maintenance and Transport Organization'.
TIR Executive Board (TIRExB), a subsidiary body of the TIR Administrative Committee, is composed of 9 members, each from different Contracting Parties to the TIR Convention. The TIRExB supervises and provides support in the application of the TIR procedure at the national and international levels.
The Customs Convention on the International Transport of Goods under Cover of TIR Carnets (TIR Convention, 1975) is one of the most successful international transport conventions and is so far the only universal Customs transit system in existence. To date, it has 70 contracting parties, including the European Union. It covers the whole of Europe and reaches out to North Africa and the Near and Middle East. More than 35,000 operators are authorized to use the TIR system and around 3 million TIR transports are carried out per year. The TIR Convention facilitates the international carriage of goods from one or more customs offices of departure to one or more customs offices of destination and through as many countries as necessary.
Approximately 428 million MT of goods were transited via Iran during the first quarter of the Iranian calendar year 2017-2018, according to an official at the Iranian Roads Maintenance Organization. Oil products accounted for 13.4 million MT and non-oil products constituted 6.8 million MT of transited goods in the three-month period, the official mentioned. The transited consignments mostly consisted of fuel, chemical materials, cotton, home appliances and foodstuff. Iraq, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates were the main countries which transited goods via Iran.
Transit of goods via Iran roads by 27.9 percent in the past Iranian calendar year, which ended on March 20, compared to the year before. Over 12.3 million tons of goods were transited via the country in the previous calendar year. Iran’s trucking fleet is largely available at the terminals. Companies are involved in both provision of road transportation and shipping services (freight forwarders) and can provide internal transport services for food and non-food commodities. There are very limited number of transport companies who own their own fleet. The drivers who have their own trucks are sub-contracted by truck agencies. Based on the latest statistics of Iran Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization, just 4% of whole trucks in Iran have ownership of the transport companies. 82% of trucks are in ownership of drivers.
More than 117 million MT of goods is the portion of international transport (import and export) during 2018 in Iran.
The total number of different types of trucks in Iran is 423,000 which includes 144,000 containerized trailers, 4,200 Bonkers and Tankers (for different types of fuel) and around 270,000 other types of transporter trucks.

3.5 Iran Food and Additional Suppliers
The wide range of temperature fluctuation in different parts of the country and the multiplicity of climatic zones make it possible to cultivate a diverse variety of crops, including cereals (wheat, barley, rice, and maize (corn)), fruits (dates, figs, pomegranates, melons, and grapes), vegetables, cotton, sugar beets, sugarcane and pistachios (World's largest producer with 40% of the world's output in 2005), nuts, olives, spices e.g. saffron (World's largest producer with 81% of the world's total output),[citation needed] raisin(world's third largest producer & second largest exporter), tea, tobacco, Berberis(world's largest producer) and mecinal herbs. More than 2,000 plant species are grown in Iran; only 100 of which are being used in pharmaceutical industries. The land covered by Iran's natural flora is four times that of Europe.
Wheat, rice, and barley are the country's major crops. The Iranian grain sector is highly regulated. Producers receive subsidised access to input costs such as fertiliser and pesticides, as well as a guaranteed support price for their crops.
Wheat: In 2007 Iran exported close to 600,000 tons of wheat (out of a production of 15 million tonnes). Approximately 6 million tons of wheat will be purchased from 15 countries in 2009 because of the drought in 2008, thus making Iran the largest wheat importer in the world.
Rice: Iran's total rice production stands at 2.2 million tons per annum whereas annual consumption is about three million tons (2008). UAE, Pakistan, India, Thiland, and Indonesia are some of the countries that Iran imports rice from to cover the consumption need. The average per capita consumption of rice in Iran is 45.5 kg, which makes Iranians the 13th biggest rice consumers. Rice is mostly produced in northern Iran. Rice has been cultivated for many years in Mazandaran and Gilan Province of Iran. In Northern Province, many indica rice cultivars including Tarom, Gerdeh, Hashemi, Hasani, Neda and Gharib have been bred by farmers.
Sugar: In 2008, Iran had a shortage of 400,000 tons to 600,000 tons of sugar nationwide. Sugar companies suffered from massive imports of cheap sugar over the past few years, which led to a 50% drop in the capacity of the sugar industry's production in 2008. The lack of import tariffs was the main reason for the domestic sugar industry suffering in this manner.
Pistachio: Iran ranks as the world's largest pistachio producer and exporter followed by USA and Turkey. After oil and carpets, pistachios are Iran's biggest exports: about 200,000 tons for $840 million in 2008. More than 350,000 people earn a living from the nut, most of them in vast groves of the desert oases in southeast. Iran's share in the global pistachio market reached 50 percent in 2010.
Saffron: Saffron is cultivated in many regions of the country, the provinces of North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi and South Khorasan in the northeast have the highest production share. Iran's saffron is exported to the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Japan, Turkmenistan, France, Italy and the US. The northeastern Khorasan Razavi province exported 57 tons of saffron worth $156.5 million to 41 countries in 2010. The high production cost comes from the exhaustive process of extracting the stamens from the flower and the number of flowers necessary to produce small amounts of spice but the process is in the process of being automated now. Iran is the largest producer of saffron with 93.7% of the world's total production.
Tea: Iran traditionally is a tea drinker country with lots of tea farm lands in north of Iran. There are several tea packaging factories in Iran that either process the locally farmed tea or package the imported tea from India, Pakistan or other east Asian countries.
Fruits: Iran is among the largest producers of berries and stone fruits in the world, especially pomegranates, dates, figs and cherries.
