Secretary of Miners Association of Markazi Province: Given the huge reserves of rock, its quality and diversity in the country, we are expected to be able to compete globally in this area.

According to Iran Stone Exhibition, Aziz Mirzaeian told reporters on Tuesday on the sidelines of the 12th Mahal Stone Exhibition, saying: "Given the enormous reserves of rock, its quality and variety are expected to be able to compete globally and There are, of course, internal problems as well as policy making.

He said: "The exhibition was created with the help of the private sector and the Trade Promotion Organization was supposed to offset 10% of the private sector's costs for the creation of the exhibition. It wishes to make the land document of the exhibition in the name of its principal trustee.

"Every industry needs planning for its activities," said the secretary of the Central Provincial Miners Association.

Mirzaiian said that in order to be present in the world market, the supply of mineral products to consumers is done through exhibitions and in the first stage, the needs assessment is done by the provinces themselves.

"Manufacturers are always looking for market-friendly products, and there are several types of products that are visible at the exhibitions, and buyers point out their problems to investors," Mirzaiian said.

He said: "Any kind of production of surplus stone is followed and we seek to attract capital and private sector investors are always looking for surplus value." Exhibiting reliable customers will provide investment. Investors are looking to make it possible for them to supply goods.

The secretary of the Miners' Association of Markazi Province said that there should be exchange of information between the main producers of stone and they should provide the necessary training.

Mirzaiian said: Processing plants in the world produce at least fifteen square meters per ton of stone, and stone production in domestic factories is up to 6 square meters per ton, unfortunately we turn waste into domestic waste, Most factories are in a state of non-economic sustainability.

He said: According to Article Thirty-Seven Implementing Regulations any raw material of modern standard factories is prioritized in accordance with modern science.

"We have no choice in introducing stone in this market for foreign investors to carry out the necessary tests with different dimensions and physical and chemical details on the inland stone because they want to be used for high costs," said Markazi Provincial Miners Association secretary. They have to make a big deal and they have to know if there is any raw material in Iran. Foreign investors want and plan the rock for big things.

"The mine is not an exporter but a producer, and there are buyers who are consumers, who buy or sell to boost the market," Mirzaiian said.
