Border market edit
Sumar border market was inaugurated as the ninth border market on the Iranian side of the Iran-Iraq border on 5 April 2015. The border market, in which more than 100 billion rials has been invested, was officially inaugurated during a ceremony attended by the governors of Kermanshah and the Iraqi province of Dialeh. It is in the Sumar-Mandali border region. As its first commercial activity, the 40-hectare border market's primary aim was to export 200 tons of cement to Iraq. Currently, Parviz border market near the city of Qasr-e Shirin is the major export channel through which 52% of the Iranian goods are exported to Iraq.[8]
