Before that, the harbor of Busher had a central place in foreign trade of the country due to having harbor infrastructure, proximity to economic centers and the fact that many merchants lived there. After the implementation of the new plan the Khuzestan area became the main center of trade in the Persian Gulf region. These plans included the building of new roads and rail way, the population increase in urban centers and institution of new harbor facilities in Khuzestan. The Busher harbor which was not able to compete lost its importance gradually. This research studies how and under what circumstances the Busher harbor lost its importance in trade and examines the theory that the reason lies in new economic strategies of the first Pahlavi's.
