Abstract
Appropriate export policies reinforce export competitiveness in both non-traditional markets and export products diversity. Diversity of export includes markets change in the composition of a target country and encompasses directly to changes in economic structure in the development process. For assessing the diversity among the target markets and exported goods a variety of indicators can be used. Therefore, this paper was alluding to the issue of diversity export using the cumulative distribution function and mean way above target export markets for various periods of separation during the development years after the Revolution, as well as a general review from the year 1368 to 88. Results confirm that countries that were among the most important during the early years of investigation and enjoyed high diversity, had a horizontal export diversity during the ending years. However countries which were not among Iran's export market or their share of total export was small during the early stages of investigation, enjoyed a vertical diversity of export during the ending years of development.
