According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Ahmad Sharifi said this afternoon at the opening ceremony of the 11th Iranian International Stone Exhibition in Mahalat: In the mining sector with twenty-seven million tons of capacity and a global value of at least $ 3 billion, one capacity in the processing sector With a value of eighty-eight million meters per meter, its global value of $ 20 is estimated at over $ 3 billion, which means we have a capacity to handle and produce if it is worth about $ 7 billion. For the country.

"It is unfortunate that in the mining sector with a capacity of twenty-seven million tonnes we have about ten million tonnes of production, and it is unfortunate that the statistics and information in the ministry are very similar to the actual statistics, the capacity of our operating licenses in The whole country in 2012 and 2013 was about one hundred and forty million square meters, now it has reached about sixty million square meters, which means that we have the capacity to process the stone we have between fifty to sixty million square meters, that is one hundred and eighty million. We have a capacity, but the current power consumption is about fifty million square meters.

The secretary of the Iranian Stone Industry Policy Council stated: "We also export about ten million square meters, of which we produce ten meters per ton, and 60 million square meters if we produce ten meters per ton means six million tons." That we export one million in blockchain, overestimating all eight million tonnes of why we produce twelve million tonnes in official sources, why give the wrong statistics, our twenty-seven million tonne capacity produces seven to eight tonnes.

Sharifi said: "In the processing sector, one hundred and eighty million meters we produce about sixty million meters, a capacity created in the country and national capital, how to activate this national capital, there is a way, we have to launch a movement. , Especially in the processing sector, we have to launch the processing movement, we have about six thousand processing units, our five hundred processing units are capable of producing potentially non-actual standard export stones, of which five hundred units may be about one hundred and fifty actual units of export work. They do,.

"If you look at the problems of these five hundred units and the government really pay attention to why the units do not produce, where is the problem, why does one stop with twenty billion or thirty billion dollars of capital, there is an Italian foreign standard, why production?" It is possible, if the ministry does not pay attention to the flow of this national capital, where the blind knot is, it cannot run the country with words and slogans, if it has two thousand meters of power per day and these two thousand meters can be exported. Kurdish, be realistic with people and tell people the truth, in this small age industry And do not tell the whole economy.

The secretary of Iran's Stone Industry Policy Council said: "It is a pain, why should our six thousand processing units have five hundred units of production and one hundred export units, why should our processing units in Isfahan sell the stone for thirty to forty tomans?" And the Arab dealer would buy them and sell them for four or five dollars.

Sharifi added: They were going to introduce reforms to the export base price issue, say to base the price at five dollars, which means looting our bitcoin, why should we destroy these national facilities, we need to find a solution to why the stone We have to sell in Iraq for five dollars, we have to sell at the actual price of fifteen to twenty dollars, we have to solve this knot.

He added: "Why should our production unit in Isfahan have to cash in on the current problem, sell the stone to an Iraqi broker for $ 30,000 cash, this knot needs to be opened, the problem lies here, we have In the value chain of the mining industry, we have a problem, why the average investment in the ore mining sector is 700 million tomans, this is the statistic that the Iranian Statistics Center has calculated, the total investment of two thousand mining units is the average investment of seven hundred million tomans. While a loader unit is two billion tomans, that means equipping a mine at least four The Liber Toman needs capital.

The secretary of the Iranian Stone Industry Policy Council stated: Why in our stone industry in the mining sector is 30% block production standard while in Turkey this figure is 60%, in standard exploration, standard design and engineering design in mining sector We have trouble managing and training the right machinery, all of which contributes to the fact that we produce a standard block that gives the standard stone for export thirty percent, and the rest of the block is nonstandard.

Sharifi said: Why processing units are crying out to stop crude exports because only forty percent of the same seven to eight million tonnes is still standard, I've been in the industry for thirty years and I know the knot and the problem Where there is work and there is no hearing in the ministry, the deputy minister should have been here to say in his presence that I am also saddened by the fact that I am presenting the facts everywhere.

He continued: The Policy Council has not been formed for a year, why? I have said many times that you should form a council, even if you have an angle with me, why should it not be formed, unless I say the opposite, I will speak in this class, why the deputy minister is angry, we all have pain and hope. We do not have the help of the Ministry because the Ministry's view is not supportive and the Ministry's thinking is not the one that should support the industrial units.

The secretary of Iran's Stone Industry Policy Council stated that out of two thousand units, one thousand units were shut down, because they had problems with sales and markets, and government salaries were imposed many times, both on their own and on their own. We have a government and we approved in the Policy Council a year and a half ago to calculate the state rights of mines based on the rate of loading, and even recently in the Mining Policy Council it was approved and I was invited to the High Council of Mines and the only person opposed to it. It was the deputy minister of "Sarkhini" himself who was also looked at by the council.

Sharifi added: "Instead of supporting the industry, we should not try to crush it under the guise of our wrong decisions, unless in the policy council, in the specialized task force, we have not approved in the council itself that any adverse effects on the country's stone exports are contrary to the opinion." Understandably, what happened after six months Even the Working Group on Trade Promotion did not agree to the toll, and the Economic Council approved two months ago to remove the export toll.

He added: "In the Stone Industry Outlook Document, we have adopted the $ 2 billion Outlook Document, a twenty-page document, at the end of which we saw dozens of industry-backed resemblances to Turkey, a case not implemented in the ministry. We want to grow this industry.
