Iran to Iraq Petrochemical & Plastic Exports | B2B Trade Platform
Exports through the International Abrisham Road B2B Platform
The export of petrochemical and plastic products is a cornerstone of Iran’s non-oil trade. Iraq, due to its geographical proximity, growing industrial demand, and extensive reconstruction needs, has become one of the most significant destination markets for Iranian exports. In this context, modern digital trade tools—especially B2B platforms—play a decisive role in facilitating international commerce. The International Abrisham Road System, recognized as Iran’s first B2B platform, provides an effective digital infrastructure for connecting Iranian manufacturers with foreign buyers, particularly in the Iraqi market.
