The agreement is worth 4.5 million U.S. dollars and "500 tractors will be exported to Syria within the next three months in the first phase," he was quoted as saying. Syria is becoming one of the customers of the Iranian-made tractors, Ebrahimi added. The headquarters of Iran Tractor Manufacturing Company is located in Iran's northwestern city of Tabriz.
