The number of production units has dropped
Central Governor: This year, the number of manufacturing and industrial units with arrears in the province has dropped by 33%.
According to Iran Stone Exhibition, Seyyed Ali Aghazadeh at the inauguration ceremony of the 12th International Stone Exhibition in Mahalat added: "The number of these production units has dropped from forty-nine units to forty units in the first half of this year.
He added: Of the three thousand industrial units in the central province, a few, such as Azar Abad and Hepco, are problematic industries.
Aghazadeh said: Central Province is in the top ranking in the field of industry and Hepco belongs to the country's mining and quarrying industry and based on the follow-up to the government's dissolved section of Hepco Stocks owned by a consortium of stone and Give mine because this community can make good use of Hepco's capacity.
The provincial governor said: Azerbaijan is one of the industries that can bypass sanctions and meet most of the country's need for heavy refinery equipment.
Aghazadehzadeh stated: "Azarab has serious problems due to mismanagement and lack of attention of shareholders at present and at present.
He added: According to the State Statistics Office, the province's unemployment rate has fallen to 8.3 percent this summer and is one of the successful provinces in reducing unemployment.
Aghazadeh added that the unemployment rate was 8.4 percent this spring.
Criticizing the absence of national officials at the exhibition, he said that officials are expected to attend the exhibition days.
"As a government representative in the central province, I do not believe in the purely stone processing in the country, even Italy, which is less than Iran, exports the raw stone," the governor said.
"There are three hundred stone factories in the neighborhoods, but more than half of these units are not in good condition," Aghazadeh said.
He cited the root problems of the stone units in the stagnation of the construction industry, the lack of attention and effective activity in exporting the product.
"The country's export share of world stone trade should increase as the industry can replace other exports and create currency," the governor said.
Aghazadeh emphasized: Stone activists and organizations should pay attention to marketing and export facilitation because Iran is one of the world's top stone producers but has failed to find a good position.
"The Mines Council, with its powers, can thrive in the stone field," the provincial governor said, referring to the provincial mines council.
Aghazadeh stated: Central province is one of the global brands in stone and industries, and the towns of Maharashtra and Nimvar are unique because of their travertine.
He added that the city ranks second and third in the production of ornamental fish and flowers.
