Tridge summary

The article highlights the decline in bottled water exports from Iran, with figures showing less than one million dollars in the last 10 to 15 years. Forouhar attributes this to high production costs, financial burdens, and weak financial strength of production units in Iran. He compares the banking facilities in Turkey, which are more favorable for producers, with the 30% return rate in Iran. Additionally, he mentions high freight costs, dependence on the Iraq and Afghanistan markets which have grown, and insecurity in neighboring countries as factors contributing to the low export numbers. Consequently, over 97% of the bottled water produced in Iran is consumed domestically.
