The director general of the Asia-Pacific Office for Trade and Development of Iran called for the creation of a think tank in the stone industry.

According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Seyyed Mojtaba Mousavian, at the country's first stone table, held on the sidelines of the 11th International Iranian Stone Exhibition in Mahallat, highlighted our country's geographical position among countries around the world due to its proximity to fifteen countries and the presence of privileged markets and "Given the geographical location of our country, there are sufficient and attractive markets around us, with about fifteen countries ranked third in the world after Russia and China, and at the crossroads of three continents," Becker said. Europe and Africa, on the other hand, and having existing reserves of rock, should not be musk Let's have it for export.

He further noted the growing trend of the country's stone exports over the past three years and said: "Why should our share of exports be below 2% due to these high reserves and diversity and privileged position?" The answer to this question must be answered by the stone table. Exports of stone have grown significantly in the year 1396 compared to the year 1395 as well as in the year 1395 compared to the year 1395. Thus, we have grown from one hundred and eighty seven million dollars in 1394 to two hundred and seventy four million dollars in 1395 which has seen growth Forty-six percent.

The Director General of the Asia-Pacific Office for Trade and Development of Iran also added: In the year 1396 we have exported three hundred and forty-one million dollars, which is 24% more than in 2016. These numbers indicate that the trend is well underway, but this is not enough for our stone sector, so a new strategy must be launched to maintain export growth and maintain the current growing trend so that we can prove our toilets in the surrounding markets. And sell our stone.

Mousavian announced the assistance of Iranian Trade Development Organization in two different sectors to export stone industry of Iran and stated that: Iran Trade Development Organization has two departments, one for export markets development and the other for export commodity development and also serious activity in stone sector. Have started. On this basis, I believe there is a market, but unfortunately, in the business sector, our companies perform poorly and lose the market.

He presented solutions to get rid of these problems and said: Attending various foreign exhibitions and introducing and presenting the company is one of these solutions to enter the global markets. Another solution is to set up a stone sales center with the help of state-of-the-art technology and start ordering with multiple losses, which can pave the way for stone activists to enter global markets.

"Finding new markets farther away could also open the way for the country's stone industry to export," he said. Marketing, like other production processes, is costly, and companies can work together to split costs together, and the government is required to provide licenses and liaison with economic advisors. Different countries and export target help the industry.

Mousavian considered the creation of a think tank in the stone industry essential and said: The strategy of Iran Trade Development Organization is to solve the problems of exporters and on the basis of this organization with the help of associations and organizations of stone industry by creating a think tank take positive steps in export development. And it will certainly have very positive results for the world rock market to succeed.

"The absence of export management companies is one of the problems in the country and these companies need to be formed with the presence of the country's youth and elites and take effective steps towards export-oriented products as well as entry into the country," said the director general of the Asia-Pacific Office of Trade Development in Iran. Global markets will be lifted, and we hope that with the arrival of young people and elites, we will see export prosperity.
