ERBIL, Sept.28 (AKnews)- As of March 20, Iran has exported goods worth of $2.4b to Iraq, Iranian Republic News Agency (IRNA) said.

The agency cited Majid Qorbanifaraz, the chief for Iraq's trade affairs in the Trade Development Organization of Iran that $375m of the exports in the meantime were trough the Kurdistan province of Iran.

The official announced the figures Wednesday in a seminar themed 'Iraq's commercial opportunities' which was held in the western Kurdistan province.

Qorbanifaraz put the value of the total exports to the Arab state last year at $5.2 billion, with $1.06 billion belonging to the export of engineering services.

That doesn't count the counterfeiting. Oh my, I wonder how much it was Iraq's oil they stole and sold back to Iraq. Then I wonder how much was spoiled food. Iraq has not learned anything from this it appears.

and is that grocery bill in USD or in IQD...?

Lemme get this straight,

Maliki wants to appease his boyfriend Amadininut, so he aids him in skirting the imposed sanctions by making sure he gets all the USD he needs to continue to shore-up his regime over there....

I'm wondering why they point out that less than1/6th came through the Kurdistan province. Too bad the goods are generally substandard imports or food goods.
