Brazil to Iran amounted to almost US$ 1,666,185,000 USD (1.5 Billion) in 2015 and decreased
annually by 10% between 2011 and 2015 and increased 16% 2014-2015. Iran’s imports totaled
more than US$ 44,553,313,000 (44 billion) in 2015, with an decreased annual growth rate of 5%
between 2011 and 2015. Brazil’s exports totaled almost US$ 191,126,886,000 in (191 billion)
2015 with an annual decreased growth rate of 6% between 2011 and 2015. Overall, the bilateral

Methods:
For finding trade opportunities for Brazilian exporter in Iran market, I used Trade potential
calculation in different level of HS code using Comtrade global trade statistics,
Trade potential is defined as the lower value between the country’s exports and the partner
country’s imports, minus the actual current trade between the two countries. The trade potential
is indicative only and serves as a starting point for further research. It gives an overview of the
complementarities of the two economies.
According to table, since Brazilian has high very market share (whole market share of meat) in Iranian
Meat market it is ranked 25 in above table. It means that meat import has lowest trade potential in Iran
market for Brazilian exporter. Followings are detailed trade potential for each sublevels of above table.
Each row with high trade potential and world share of Brazilian world market share (column 3) will have
high potential for Brazilian exporter (showed in gray).
