High quality of Iranian raw stone
Mining activist: In this way, we must take measures for self-sufficiency with the help of large mining organizations and companies, with the support of local artisans as well as culture building in the stone industry family.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Iran is one of the top 5 countries in the world in terms of quantity and quality in the field of raw stone. In the matter of efficient, knowledgeable, expert and experienced manpower, it should be said that we have no doubt about the flourishing Iranian talents; Not in slogans, but today in Iran and around the world, this issue has shown itself in the form of a statistical community, and we are witnessing the widespread attraction of Iranian professional and committed forces in world-renowned organizations and projects.
Meanwhile, the main challenge of the country's stone field is based on two axes, namely the quality of production tools and providing facilities for marketing and export sales. In the discussion of production tools, it should be said that the efforts of Iranian mining machine makers are commendable. In the meantime, one should reflect a little on the views that cast doubt on the potential of domestic production and weaken the technical and industrial self-confidence.
Iran's stone industry does not include mining, processing, sawing, calibrating, slab and tile production machines are more complex than the steel industry. At present, with the attention and efforts of the capable domestic forces in the most complex technical sensitive points, we have not only overcome the problems, but in some cases we have enjoyed a favorable international position.
The export of steel products to developed and developed countries with quality and special technical standards confirms this claim. By planning and relying on domestic power and avoiding rhetoric, Iranian stones have attracted the attention of strict exporters in the field of export after the domestic production process. Some say that we do not have a suitable infrastructure, but it must be said that this has no logical criteria. To better understand, it is enough to study the evolution of industry in Turkey and China.
Turkey, with national planning and support, is now fully self-sufficient in the production of processing machinery. China, with 98 percent of its processed stone exports, is a clear example of the self-confidence debate.
In this way, we must take steps to become self-sufficient with the help of large mining organizations and companies, with the support of local artisans as well as culture-building in the stone industry family. Since we do not face a major problem and a major obstacle in this regard, we can do well. Meanwhile, the lack of infrastructure is related to the weakness of export orientations. This is the key part of the story of the country's stone industry.
Considering the approach of most production units to domestic markets, it can be said that exports have been neglected. If we examine, we will see that in successful export cases, we see attention to the list that is arranged in the medium and long term time unit and a specific organization has succeeded with a specific strategy and program.
Measures such as forming export consortia, forming specialized export companies, entering the target market by looking for a local business partner, establishing a company and having a support warehouse in the target markets, and researching the market and consumer culture information and current market rules are all on this list. In the meantime, the success of companies necessarily requires the necessary strategy, reflection and planning.
