Honoring the National Top Exporters – 29th National Export Day, 2025

Each year, on October 21st, coinciding with National Export Day, 32 trophies are awarded to active exporters across Iran as a symbol of the dedication and efforts of Iranian traders in the field of international commerce.

Approved in October 2008, these trophies are presented at four levels:

• Crystal Trophy – for top national exporters

• Golden Trophy – for exemplary national exporters

• Silver Trophy – for commendable national exporters

• Bronze Trophy – for outstanding provincial exporters

The trophy design incorporates a motif inspired by traditional Persian floral patterns, which have a long-standing history in Iranian art, including plasterwork, tilework, carpets, engraving, illumination, and textile design. This motif represents both cultural heritage and natural growth, symbolizing development, prosperity, and the dynamic nature of commerce.

The globe, integrated into the design, signifies international trade, highlighting the connection between national excellence and global markets. The fusion of national and international symbols emphasizes the importance of foreign trade in today’s world.

The trophy’s stepped pedestal and stem are creatively designed to represent the letters of the word “Tijarat” (Trade) in Persian, each step symbolizing a key principle of successful commerce:

1. T – Tawakkul (Trust in God): The foundational step for every great and constructive endeavor.

2. J – Jorat (Courage): Represents risk-taking and boldness in international trade.

3. A – Estegamat (Perseverance): Reflects steadfastness and continuous effort in business.

4. R – Rasti (Honesty): A core principle of ethical commerce, essential for sustainable growth.

5. T – Ta’ali (Excellence): The stem embodies development and continuous upward progress toward perfection.

This trophy design elegantly combines traditional Iranian artistry with universal symbols of trade, celebrating both the cultural and commercial achievements of Iran’s top exporters.
