Member of the Board of Directors of Kerman Decorative Stone Export Association: Excellent negotiations have been held with Oman and Qatar on the export of stone that will be concluded after the Kerman Marble Stone Export Contract.

Amir Shafiei, a member of the Board of Directors of Kerman Decorative Stones Export Association, said in an exclusive interview with the Iranian Stone News Agency: All kinds of goods needed by miners and activists of the country's stone industry such as heavy machinery and processing equipment have been removed, which will provide the necessary platforms for the growth and development of the stone and mining industry and will greatly increase productivity. .

"Many of the equipment we use in the mine are outdated and inefficient and need to be replaced with modern equipment," he said. During the boycott, money was not available to buy modern, well-equipped machines due to problems with money transfers, but now it can be done.

Stone industry activist pointing out the need for serious attention by stone industry activists to discuss export to get out of recession continued: Excellent talks with Oman and Qatar on the export of stone after the marble stone export contract Kerman will be done to these countries.

He emphasized: Given the downturn in the housing construction market in Iran, it is necessary to pursue the issue of exporting stone to other countries more seriously.

Shafiei continued: Iran is unique in the world in terms of ornamental and color diversity in the world, but some countries such as Italy are far ahead of us and we need to make more efforts in this regard.

A member of the board of directors of Kerman Decorative Stones Exports Association continued: "In different provinces there are several days of exhibitions for the stone industry or the construction industry. In my opinion, the days-long exhibitions are not enough to introduce the Iranian stone industry.

He said: "We need a permanent exhibition of stone for the comprehensive development of the stone industry so that a permanent place for this exhibition is considered so that the stone industry activists can showcase their products at the exhibition.

He emphasized: The permanent exhibition provides the necessary platforms for introducing all the capacities of Iranian stone and establishing contacts with foreign and domestic businessmen.
