Necessity to set up stone research institute in Markazi province
Neighborhood Representatives in Parliament: Lack of Export Incentives in the Stone Sector and Zero Market Understanding are other problems in the export industry that should facilitate the production and export-oriented production with the help of our country's economic advisers. And correctly identify the target markets.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, a representative of the neighborhoods and delicacies in the Majlis called the branding industry a necessity for the stone industry and stressed the need to set up a stone research institute in the central province.
Hojjatoleslam Alireza Salimi at the country's first stone table held on the sidelines of the 11th International Stone Exhibition in the neighborhoods, while addressing the problems of the stone industry, said: "There are some problems in the stone industry. One of them is production or production cycle. Our products are not complete or export-oriented. Although we rank third in production, but unfortunately our share of global stone markets is one percent, due to the high cost of production, taxes and some intractable regulations, and of course some barriers not in our hands and outside us. Imposed.
A supervisory member of the Central Province Policy Board of Education called training one of the needs of the stone industry and said: "The cost of production is high and we are planning to increase production efficiency by 30% but this has not been possible and this is because Our production has not needed and used its own research and university, and this is due to the lack of knowledge-based companies in this field and the lack of a growth center to enhance the knowledge of manufacturers and exporters that has hit the industry. .
Salimi went on to point out the poor quality of extraction from other problems in the industry and added: Given that we are lagging behind in the extractive machinery sector, so the quality of stone extraction and exploitation in the country is low and this makes us compete with countries. The other is out and the reason for the lack of allocation of face and two hundred dollars to the machinery import sector that is why our technology is not updated.
"We need to be able to take over the raw stone market and make improvements in processing, and we need to move both sectors together," he said. Lack of export incentives in the stone sector and zero market familiarity is another problem in the export industry that should be facilitated by the help of our country's economic advisors in export-oriented production and product identification and target markets.
"The relevant ministries and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in this sector should come to the aid of production and export," he said. The Department of Economic Affairs was supposed to be formed at the State Department, but that has not happened while the foreign ministries are active in the sector.
Salimi considered branding a necessity for the stone industry and emphasized the launch of the stone research institute and said: "We are having difficulty in providing facilities to this industry because the high interest rate of the bank has raised the cost of production and now due to market volatility the decision-making power of the Traders and manufacturers are taken.
He criticized the high price of land for industrial towns and the tax breaks of industrial units in neighborhoods and Delijan. He said land prices for industrial companies in the region are high and should be lowered as this will increase production costs. I ask the officials of the Ministry of Economy and Finance why we should not have any exemptions in the neighborhoods. Why not take advantage of deprived areas? Tax offenses have broken the region's waistline manufacturers. Of the two hundred billion tomans tax paid to the Treasury, shouldn't the Rial be returned to the area as state-owned mines?
At the end, Salimi called for the creation of a special treasury in the province for the realization of the state mines rights and said: the provincial treasury should be activated to allocate taxes and government rights to the area as well as state-owned companies involved in the mines. They have to pay the factories in the region.
