Import imports of mining machinery in bulk
Secretary General of the Iranian Stone Association: The life of machines that work for stone production units reaches over 25 years, which is one of the problems of the mining sector in the field of decorative stones because it leads to increased production costs.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Ahmad Sharifi stated: If mining activists want to make major repairs on a 600 loader, it will cost them about one billion tomans, it is natural when the cost of repairs increases and sometimes unreliable parts on the device Installation leads to increased production costs and increased cost of products.
Sharifi continued: "Most of the active mines in the country do not have a spare device or the equipment that is damaged must be repaired. Because of these problems, their mining will be stopped for two to three months. Is the domain.
The Secretary General of the Iranian Stone Association stated: If the production units want to import the required machinery themselves, they will also face problems because the Ministry of Silence in some cases prevents the import of machinery and in some cases frees the import of mineral machinery, while in some cases, remarks. It states that in practice our production units alone cannot do this.
Sharifi stated: The mining production units do not have the ability to enter independently and open credit because most of the decorative stone mines do not have a business card that they want to enter and do import work, and these units are familiar with the foreign trade sector. In some cases, mines that have the ability to import machinery also face restrictions such as currency allocation and the like.
The Secretary General of the Iranian Stone Association stated: The cost of an excavator in Turkey is priced at 50,000 Euros. To import production, it must buy 5 billion tomans in the country, and this means that it is more than two or three times the real price of goods that are priced in free currency in the country.
Sharifi stressed that the main reason for the increase in costs is that the Ministry of Industry is closing the import routes of mining machinery, which are capital goods and a kind of production tool; The Ministry of Industry must pave the way for all units to be able to supply the machinery they need.
He added: "It is the duty of the government and the state to provide the conditions to facilitate production; At the time of Mr. Mahlouji and on his orders, about $ 600 million worth of mining machinery was imported into the country. Kurds and in general this will be in the interest of the country, the national economy and the mineral units.
The secretary of the country's stone association said: the Ministry of Industry should step in and roll up its sleeves to solve this problem; It is suggested that one of the companies under the Ministry of Industry or the Mining Investment Investment Insurance Fund be given this authority. An initial repair must be done so that the mineral units can stand on their own two feet.
