Opportunities for development of stone exports
Stone producers in countries such as Turkey enjoy 100% tax exemption, while Iranian stone exporters are subject to 80% tax, while targeted post-market opportunity should support targeted programs to boost exports in all areas. Formulate a stone that requires realization and implementation of an effective support package.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, the 9th International Exhibition of Iranian Building Stone was opened in Nimur with the presence of the Minister of Industry, Mining and Trade. After the inauguration ceremony, many officials in the mine and rock processing units reported.
Developing executable programs
Senior consultant of Iranian Chamber of Commerce also said at the conference of Iranian stone export: Mahalat city has two industrial poles and three industrial stone decorative towns and existence of hundred stone carving warehouses are among the advantages that have made 90% of the city's jobs with stone industries. It is to be understood that this advantage should be extended to employment and wealth production.
Aziz Mirzaiian added: The presence of three hundred active stone mines in this area shows the ability of Mahalat city in decorative stone.
He added: "The biggest problem facing the growth and development of the country's stone industry is the lack of investment security in the sector, which has been caused by conflicting laws, partisanship and local disturbances." To this end, reforming the tax law, financing, using up-to-date machinery and equipment, and reforming the VAT law, investment and customs barriers are the needs of this sector for export development.
The senior advisor to the Iranian Chamber of Commerce stated: "The private sector should step in by developing a comprehensive organization of rock activists, formulating appropriate implementation plans and continuously liaising with the country's engineering system, in order to enhance technical knowledge towards the development of the country's stone industry and export development. Of course, utilizing the expertise and expertise of stone industry experts is one of the things that should be valued.
He said: Optimal and continuous cooperation with the Investment Insurance Fund to provide machinery and export development and create sympathy and co-ordination of professional organizations of stone activists in the form of a comprehensive organization is one of the most important solutions to the problems and threats of the mining and processing sector.
Opportunities for development of stone exports
"Opportunity is essential for development of Iranian stone exports and given the quality of products in this area, the focus should be on export," said the head of the Iranian Association of Stone Exports at the 9th International Iranian Stone Exhibition in Mahalat.
Abolghasem Shafi'i said: Stone producers in countries such as Turkey enjoy 100% tax exemption while Iranian stone exporters are subject to 80% tax, while using targeted back-up opportunities to support targeted programs to strengthen Exports to all fields, especially stone, to realize this need to define and implement an effective support package.
He said: "All the costs of setting up booths at international fairs are now borne by the manufacturers present at these fairs, while in many countries these costs are considered by governments as incentives and side-by-side policies to move the industry faster." .
Shafiei continued: The Iranian stone market is strongly threatened by importers of ornamental and construction stone from Turkey and China, which must be taken seriously by authorities to support domestic production. Given that the Iranian economy needs a radical transformation with a resilient economy model, there is no doubt that many cumbersome laws, a morbid and emotional economy and high cost of insurance must be changed in favor of stone producers.
He pointed out that the serious pest in the stone industry is its raw material, which should be enhanced by strengthening the processing chain, competitiveness and value-added of the sector in the domestic and foreign markets, and the realization of this requires comprehensive support in the stone industry to reduce Production costs and the provision of competitive production platforms.
Equipping stone processing units with technical knowledge
Director of Industrial Estates Company of Markazi Province at the Iranian Stone Exports Conference at the 9th International Iranian Stone Exhibition in Nimour said: The field of stone processing should be equipped with up-to-date knowledge so that in addition to gaining its proper place in target markets, in economic development, growth Exporting and creating value added has a great deal to do, which requires serious scientific work and determination.
Mustafa Amara said that launching export management companies and forming export consortia would have a significant role in boosting exports, adding that European and developed countries are seeing higher value added in production, industry and mining because of their high technology. In the meantime, the localization of stone processing technology in the country in order to realize a resilient economy requires the supreme leader of the revolution to be on the agenda.
"Provincial capital enjoys three export management companies with good capacity and can provide export opportunities for small companies," he added. It must be remembered, however, that increasing mineral production alone cannot bring about the added value that is needed, so reducing waste and increasing the skill and technical knowledge of workers in the field of stone extraction and processing can accomplish this.
