Exports of Iranian hand-woven carpets declined
A carpet trader said: Exiting the export of Iranian handmade carpets from the current unfavorable situation requires national determination and a strong presence of the government in support of exporters of handmade carpets.
Seyed Ali Khaledian added: Due to the lack of economic stability in previous years and the constant fluctuations of the rial against other currencies, the export of Iranian handmade carpets is currently facing many problems and challenges.
He considered the financial and banking sanctions of the last few years to be effective in reducing the export of Iranian handmade carpets and said: to develop the position of Iranian handmade carpets among the countries of the world and return the ranking of Iranian handmade carpets to the ideal situation of previous years, Define independent production, sale and export of handmade carpets.
The carpet expert stressed that different institutions should not be involved in the field of handmade carpet trade: the National Carpet Center and the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade can help solve the problems of handmade carpet exports in a joint action and in coordination with private sector activists.
Pointing to the weakness of the advertising and marketing sector in the field of handmade carpet exports, Khaledian noted: The private sector alone can not afford the high costs of extensive advertising of Iranian handmade carpets and the government must advertise and recognize the place of Iranian handmade carpets in the world and It should pay special attention to the development of its exports.
He stated that Iranian hand-woven carpets are left out of the world train of this industry, adding: Iranian hand-woven carpet exporters are not able to compete with Chinese and Indian traders with the current unfavorable conditions, while in the past these countries were always in the next ranks after the country. We were moving.
The economic activist in the field of hand-woven carpets said: The government can provide the ground for the extensive activity of hand-woven carpet traders and exporters in the country through appropriate banking mechanisms and providing cheap facilities, and boost the export of this enduring Iranian art-industry around the world.
