Abstract

One of the strategies of resistance economy indicated by the supreme leader issued in February 18, 2014 was to improve the exporting capacity of the country in order to have a share in the foreign market. It is significant to study the exporting market of the Iranian products to the countries of Eurasian economic union, and the implementation of temporary commercial agreements between Iran and this union since 2018. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of expanding the export of Iranian products to the members of this union through the data collected between 2012 and 2020 via the indexes of cosinus and comparative advantage. The findings showed that in the Eurasian economic union, Armenia has the highest possibility for exporting Iranian products. After that, Russia could also expand the export of Iranian products. According to the results, some political suggestions such as exporting plans for drug and technology products, supporting start-ups and small and medium businesses, purposeful identification of the markets in the Eurasian countries, removing exporting barriers for the private sector and establishing an exporting consortium are noted.
