Exports should be a top priority for all
During the meeting, Jafar Asghari, Deputy Director of Commerce and Trade Development of Markazi Province, said: "There should be no obstacles to export." Exports should be a top priority for all. Currently, one of the problems with raw material production units is that this problem needs to be addressed and addressed. Export incentives and support policies need to be defined to increase exports.
He announced a report on the export figures of ornamental stones in the country and the province, saying that the export of mineral products and ornamental stones in Markazi province has grown significantly over the past eight months and all our efforts are to export the amount of stone. To increase the province.
He emphasized: Holding meetings of the country's stone table in the central province and with the presence of all representatives of the country's stone industry can significantly alleviate the problems and obstacles in export. We intend to invite representatives of the twenty-one stone and mineral provinces to attend the second session of the country's stone table.
The need for all representatives of the country's stone industry to be present at the country's stone table
Mohammad Halajian, Executive Director of Iran International Stone Exhibition, said: "The discussion of the Central Province Stone Industry Policy Council is very different from the country's stone table." I think the meetings of the country's stone table should be attended by representatives of all the stone provinces of the country and by experts and strong craftsmen in the field of stone in order to achieve the desired result.
He added: Iran International Stone Exhibition during its activity has been able to create a strong convergence among Iranian stone industry activists. Considering the handover of the country's stone table to the central province, which was carried out by Mr. Hajipour and Dr. Salimi, the representative of the people of Delijan and localities in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, this convergence can be multiplied and the necessary basis for increased exports.
The stone carvings of Mahaleh and Nairobi have a shortage of workers
Hossein Soroush, president of the Mahalat & Nimvar Stoneworkers Guild, said: "In 2007, we paid about two hundred and forty million toman to complicate the stone industry. The evidence is available, and now we no longer have to look at the problems of the stone industry, the problems are obvious, the major problems are some laws and some guidelines that need to be revised in these laws and regulations.
He added: "Despite all the problems, stone exports to the city of Mahallat have reached twenty-two million dollars." Who is responsible for increasing these exports? Who should take the producer's hand to increase this export? What role does the Chamber of Commerce play in this regard and how much have the government officials doubled their efforts? We need serious export.
He added that sufficient powers should be given to the country's stone table to make the best decisions to increase the country's stone exports and implement those decisions. The country stone table can give the ministry the best advice because of the presence of the best stone craftsmen.
He said: "We have a problem in the stone industry now. Unfortunately, there are no work permits for Afghan workers in the city, and some establishments have been closed due to fines for not having an Afghan worker. In some neighboring cities, Afghan workers have permits to work. The city's stone carvings and stone collections require two thousand workers, but unfortunately we have a shortage of workers.
"We have problems getting industrial land," he said. Because of the speculators, the cost of production in Mahallat is twenty-five percent higher than in some of the country's stone cities. The speculators are one of the most important problems in the stone industry in Mahallat city.
Hold country rock table meetings with careful planning
Hossein Pourhosseini, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the International Stone Exhibition of Iran stated that the country stone table should be held in the best possible way with all the representatives of the stone provinces of the country. Sufficient funds must be provided for these meetings to be held and this budget must be sustained so that these meetings can be held at the highest possible level and obtain the best results. The more accurate our planning for country rock table meetings is, the better the results will be.
Exporting the country's ornamental stone to $ 1 billion
Mohsen Mirzaei, a member of the board of directors of the Iranian Association of Stone, said: "We should increase the export of decorative stone to one billion dollars." To this end, it is necessary to use the opinions of all experts and export activists. The argument that we should export stone or processed stone should be abandoned. Such problems are solved in today's world. Countries like Italy that export light stone, along with exported processed stone, also export stone and have no problems in this area.
He added: "In order to increase exports, it is necessary to participate in international exhibitions, and to participate in these exhibitions as much as possible, the government should encourage and pay part of the costs, like some developed countries."
At the end, Aziz Mirzaiian, secretary of the Central Province Stone Industry Policy Council, read the minutes of the meeting.
