Khodadad Rahimi said the exported items included petrochemicals and gas condensate.
He added that the five-month exports were up 59 percent in terms of value and 26 percent in terms of weight, compared with the same period last year.
Rahimi said the rise in exports comes against the backdrop of Western sanctions against Iran.
Iran’s First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri said on Saturday that the country’s non-oil exports reached 16 billion dollars in the first four months of the current Iranian calendar year.
Iran’s major exported items comprised liquefied propane, methanol and bitumen and the main export destinations, in descending order, were China, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan and Turkey.
