Shipping - The Most Important Problem of Iranian Stone Exports
Dena Stone Industries Trade Officer and MSCO Export Company: Currency fluctuations, the introduction of new laws and the introduction of some taxes have made international traders very difficult to trust. When faced with these problems, international traders usually go to a country that does not.
Neda Heidari, Dena Stone Industries Trading Officer and MSCO Export Company, in an exclusive interview with Iran Stone News Agency stated: Dena Stone Industries has been operating since 2004 and MSCO Export Company has been operating for about a year. We only export coupons.
"The biggest problem we have in the export sector is shipping," he said. The ship is almost gone, the dates that tell us to carry it are too late and in some cases they do not even give us the exact date. Two years ago the conditions for export were very good and there were no such problems.
He said: Attendance at international fairs will introduce traders of other countries with all kinds of Iranian stones and will provide the necessary conditions for increasing exports. The point is that this presence must be continuous and continuous in order to get the desired result.
Heidari said currency exchange rate fluctuations, new laws and the introduction of some taxes have made international traders very difficult to trust. When faced with these problems, international traders usually go to a country that does not have these problems.
He noted that the biggest weakness of Iran's stone industry is processing. Due to some worn out machines, our processed stones are in some cases much weaker than those of other countries. In many cases, international traders identify the Iranian stone industry only with its coarse-grained rocks and are less concerned with processed stones.
