Iran's small share in the export of processed stones
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade: Iran accounts for 12 percent of the world's stone production, but its share of stone exports is 1 percent.
According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Jaafar Sarkhini said this afternoon at the opening ceremony of the 8th International Exhibition of Iran: "All economies, even large economies, are stagnating. We must not worry about recession. Follow the recession.
He added: "With government measures coming out of recession soon and the government has put in place a package to get out of recession to return to prosperity. Due to the nature of mining activities, this sector has seen minimal losses from the recession but has had some impact."
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Commerce stated: In the stone sector has not been successful and in the same two years it rotates on the same heel and we have not been able to reach its position in this industry.
"The headquarters will start with a better combination and a stronger approach," the minister said. "The commands will soon be announced by the industry minister, and he will begin work with experts in the field," said Sarkhini. .
He added: Iran produces 12% of the world's stone but only 1% of its trade. This low share is not limited to today. For example, Turkey entered the field simultaneously with Iran, but today it is around Second in the world in stone trading.
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade continued: In this area has been short but the blame for Iran's small share in the stone trade is not the only government and the stone and all the activists in this field have been short.
"Increasing the share of stone exports has many ways, including preventing crude sales because crude is a pest of the stone industry, accounting for seven percent of our stone exports.
He said: The amount of crude exported if we measure the proportion of stone to be processed in the country is about seventy percent of the stone exported abroad.
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade added: The country's stone industry is dissatisfied with the current situation and stone-cutting technology is closed or partially closed.
"I do not agree, as in the past, forty percent of taxes were levied on this area, and a note was added to the mining law, which states that the minerals exported are not subject to tax exemptions in order to protect domestic production against the export market.
He said: The export of crude stone is not prohibited and has no complications and its taxation has been lifted. Nesz's building stone is on this list and submitted to the Economic Council for operation.
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Commerce said: The problem of Iranian stone is not alone and the problem is deep-rooted, we do not believe in technology very much because the problem is not just technology and it is because we have learned to choose the easier way.
Saying that the domestic market is good is also not true because there are a variety of inferior and Chinese stones in the domestic market, and what is being exported from Iran is the best.
"One of the challenges for miners is environmental problems and natural resources, mining is happening all over the world. For example, Europe produces thirty-five percent of the world's consumed stone and many of them are mines in the forests," he said. The laws in this area have narrowed the field to miners.
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade said: 6,600 stone carvings are active in the country, some of which are small and some produce stones for specific purposes and only maybe about 500 units of stone. They produce exports.
"The aggregation of stone exhibitions is a right thing to do," he said. "We agree because the exhibitions are the resources of the country, and if they are brought together at a lower cost, building an exhibition in eighty-five days is a record.
He pointed out that the second national standard of stone is on the agenda of the stone headquarters because it is very helpful in the issue of exports, it should be appreciated the gods' blessings, that protesting that the state's rights are back with previous years is not right because the government's rights And it can't be forgotten.
Deputy Minister of Mines and Minerals Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade continued: Some miners have done inappropriate work and have been extracted illegally and have been subject to damages and have been demoted and modified.
"How to operate a mine is very important to be kind to the mine, and to be kind to the mine is to work in a principled and technical way, we should not be mining, but at the expense of depleting the country's resources, it should not be a tourist attraction and Enter the country of travel hit.
He added: "We must try to find solutions to minimize damage to the environment. I hope the exhibition will be successful so that the beneficiaries can benefit."
