Ranked third in Iran's stone reserves
A member of the board of directors of the Sangbran Guild of the city described the current time period as a good time to provide export conditions during the post-sanctions period.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, a member of the board of directors of the Stone Age Trade Union of the city described the current time as a good time to provide export conditions during the post-sanctuary period and said: ) We do not have and we do not know what kind of stone and what kind of stone they use. One country likes white light, the other likes colored stones, and somewhere in China and marble there may be a good market.
"The other part is technical specifications. Target countries need rocks with different technical specifications," he said. One country may want crude stone and the other country will want rock with similar sabs and resins, and in terms of size one country may want forty widths and another country thirty, and in terms of diameter, each country will use a stone of specific diameter. . Iraq, for example, uses two centimeters in diameter and is a model of mounting with an iron plate and usually prefer 60 30 30 sizes. The producer must have this knowledge and then export the stone to the Iraqi market.
Mostafa Rezai criticized the shortcomings of the relevant organs in the development of stone exports and said, "Unfortunately, studies have not been conducted in the target markets." The government, the Trade Development Organization and the Ministry of Industry and Mining and Trade should conduct these studies and report the results to producers, which has not been done so far.
He said that in terms of diversity, quality and volume of reserves after India and China we have the third position in the world but in terms of export, we do not have special position and export of processed stone is much lower. Our export volume is below one percent of global market power. Given the power we have in Chinese stone, marble, marble, and especially travertine, we can have a great place in world markets.
"We are on the verge of lifting sanctions now and by the year 1395, global markets will open to us, the best time to do that These surveys are in target markets and may be too late now. We have to participate in exhibitions in Turkey, Italy and Central Asia, China, East Asia, India and get a good assessment of our abilities compared to other countries.
He added that the private sector should also make reforms under the new conditions. In the extractive sector we are not far from the world, but in the process of processing we are far from the world and our machinery needs to be updated.
