Export Solutions for troubleshooting the stone industry
Member of the Mining Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines: Exports and specialties are essential. Whenever there is an increase in exports, the issue of specialization is also essential. If our approach to stone production is to export, many unskilled people will leave the industry.
According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Behnam Nikfar said: "To grow and develop the industry, we need to pay more attention to production, to increase production, and to offer affordable banking facilities." Alongside these discussions, what is most essential to the growth and development of the industry is the attention of the authorities to exports, and this should be the top priority of economic officials.
A member of the Mining Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines added: "Exports and specialties are essential to each other." Whenever there is an increase in exports, the issue of specialization is also essential. If our approach to stone production is to export, many unskilled people will leave the industry. It should be planned to process their stone factories for export.
"We can experience real growth and development in the stone industry when we prioritize exports," he said. Low-cost facilities should be allocated to export-oriented units, and new manufacturing units should be set up with an export approach. In the country we have enough factories to process in-stone consumption, but the number of stone-exporting units is very low.
A member of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines Mining Commission noted: In developed countries about 70% of the cost of attending various companies at international fairs is paid for by the government or if these companies in other countries To rent or set up a business office, part of their expenses paid by the government, the Turkish government has increased its stone exports in recent years by the same methods and approaches.
Nekfar continued: In the past few years, the main focus of some quarrying plants has been on domestic consumption, and today as construction in the country declines and domestic demand for stone consumption declines, these factories have stagnated, if these factories have started to decline. The export approach worked, today we were not faced with these crises.
A member of the Mining Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines said: "Iran is very rich in stone quarries. There are some of the best marble, granite and travertine mines in Iran, many factories also have the best processing and can easily take the necessary steps to export these stones. At the current price of the dollar, the price of Iranian stone in the world markets is very competitive and we can easily gain our true position in the international markets.
He added: "At present, the most important problem for increasing exports is the issue of money transfers between Iran and other countries. Currently only cash can be traded with foreign merchants for cash, and the rest of the money transfer is almost closed. Unless the money transfer problem is resolved and exports become an economic priority, the problem of unemployment and closure in the stone industry will be resolved.
A member of the Mining Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines noted: In the past two months, the shortage of supplies and spare parts and the rise in prices for mines and quarries have been very disturbing. Unfortunately, the problem continues and some consumer prices continue to rise, and there is a shortage of problems that have plagued the stone industry.
