Iran’s stone export share of the world market

Iran’s stone export share is half percent of the world market.

 

The secretary of the Iran Stone Association claimed that the high price of transportation with the increase of production side costs has taken away the power of competition in the international arena from the country’s stone industry to the point where we only have a share of less than half a percent of the world markets. According to Chabak Online, Zeba Yazdani, the secretary of the Iran Stone Association, in a conversation with Chabak Online, stated: If long-term vision or decisions are not made for the stone industry, a good future cannot be imagined for it.

has caused problems, while other countries are producing with the latest technology in the world.  The secretary of the Iran Stone Association said: power outages in industrial towns during the peak of work have caused depreciation for the devices, besides the fact that the stone production process itself also has problems.  He said: It should be noted that the stone that can be transported from the mine to the market is not a raw product, but it has passed about 50% of the production process, which is called a block, stone cup or peak, and processing in factories is the only characteristic.

Like export duties, it is imposed all at once, so the international customer prefers to supply his needs from stable supply goods, other stone substitute goods or even more reliable countries for large projects.  He claimed that the high price of transportation with the increase in production side costs has reduced the strength of competition in the international arena from the country’s stone industry to the point where we have only less than half a percent of the global markets.  The secretary of the Iran Stone Association said: Although we have a competitive advantage in the field of limestone, countries like Turkey have appropriated the region’s market because they designed the right market supply strategy. @chabokonline Iranian stone association channel @iranstoneassociation
