During the meeting, Duklavs informed the ambassador that Latvian producers are interested in diversifying the export of food products to Iran. ''Even though the export volumes of food products are relatively small, we are interested in increasing mutual trade,'' the agriculture minister said.
Already since 2012, the main export product of Latvia to Iran has been grain. In 2015, Latvian exported wheat worth EUR 4.4 million to Iran.
Meanwhile, the main food products exported from Iran to Latvia are various types of fried fruit and nuts.
