Comparing Export and Import Sport Goods in Iran in 2014 to Implement Resistive Economics

Abstract

The purpose of the research was to compare export and import sport goods in Iran in 2014 to implement the Resistive Economics. There was used laboratory and past vision method in the research. The registered comprehensive statics in official website of Chamber of Commerce, industries, mines and agriculture of Tehran were used to collect data. Its population included all registered export and import goods in Iran; among them, export and import sport equipments in Iran in 2014 were considered as the research sample. Goods exporter and importer countries to Iran were classified in 14 and 7 categories respectively. Then sport goods were 10 categories homogenously. Ranking export and import of sport goods was measured according to commercial partners and their dollar worth. The goods were compared by considering their Rial worth. The descriptive test and independent t-test were used to analyze data. Meanwhile, α= 0.05 was considered as significant level. The research findings showed 64% of importers of sport goods to Iran were China (36%), UAE (21%) and Turkey (7%). The imported sport goods were prioritized according to their Rial worth as follows: toys (56%), treadmill (24%), various rockets (5%), various balls (3%) and game facilities in open air (3%). In contrast, in terms of Rial worth, Iran exported sport goods to Iraq (70%), Turkmenistan (8%) and Afghanistan (7%). However, 100% exported sport goods included toys, treadmill and game facilities in open air. Finally, the research final findings showed no significant relationship between export and import sport equipments in Iran in 2014, in terms of their Rial worth. Now, it is suggested to explain necessary facilities to establish workshops and manufacturer factories based on ranking the imported goods within Iran. However, the imports should be controlled to support new established firms. It results in job creation and reduces foreign currency exit. Consequently, we should export sport goods and find consumer countries. Finally, free business policy should be considered to improve quality of the goods. As a result, we can satisfy consumer and control prices. In this way, we can improve Iran’s commercial balance and implement the Resistive Economics.
