Our share of the world's stone exports is one percent
Head of Iran Stone Association: Iran's share of the world's stone exports is only 1%, and given the potential in the country, this is a disadvantage for the stone industry.
According to the Iranian International Stone Exhibition, the head of the Iranian Stone Association said that the stone industry suffers from many problems: "The stone industry does not want money to invest because it is self-generating employment and entrepreneurship. Today, the production, extraction and trade rings are broken. And these are damaging to the stone industry.
Reza Ahmadi at the country's first stone table that was held on the sidelines of the International Stone Exhibition in Neighborhoods, said lack of planning was one of the objections to the country's stone industry and said: One of the personal and governmental objections to the stone industry It is planned, but the lack of government and governments has produced a major blow to the body. In the Ninth Government, a budget of four hundred and eighty pages was devoted to the thirty-year horizon of the stone industry, with a strategy based on the tasks of each of the public and private sectors and a description of its tasks to fifty peaks in the annual renovation. Replaced by sawmills and sawmills for export purposes, the private sector in the provinces of Isfahan and Tehran began without the help of the public sector.
He continued to keep pace with the stone machine manufacturers moving forward, adding that the machine makers have also made good strides in this regard by copying foreign models and sometimes by partnering with companies. Foreigners began to produce modern stone processing machines.
The head of Iran's stone association, citing the country's small share in world stone exports, said: Iran's share of world stone exports is only one percent, and given the potential in the country, this is a disadvantage for the stone industry.
In another part of his speech, Ahmadi called the Iranian Stone Center a strategy and pointed out: "The Iranian Stone Center has a strategy, but today due to tax problems it is not possible to express and clarify the facts, which is one of the deadly blows to Exporting this product is because the transparency of production in the world market is the first word in the export field and because of being involved in tax affairs most manufacturing companies have two offices to overcome this problem. One office for the presentation of assets and another office for business affairs, which is and is a dilemma in business matters and should be resolved by implementing proper policies.
Referring to other problems in the industry, he said: The stone industry is plagued by many problems, the main culprit being the public sector. The stone industry does not want money to invest because it is self-generating employment and entrepreneurship. Today, the production, extraction and trading rings are broken, and these are damaging to the stone industry.
The head of the Iranian Stone Association said that the vacancy in the stone industry is one of the problems in the export sector. And that alone has hit exports.
Ahmadi also said that exchange rate fluctuations have caused many problems and these fluctuations have hit the export of this product, on the other hand, the differences in the export price of capped stone and processed stones have hit the body of the stone industry.
