Investigating the challenges facing foreign trade in handmade carpets
The carpet weaving industry is the oldest industry in the country, and its thousands of years of history show that this profession is tied to the Taropod of the Iranian people.
It may not be an exaggeration to say that all the people of the world know the handmade carpet by the Iranian brand, and that international acquisition in recent years has been the result of the efforts of many artists, merchants and statesmen to create a lucrative market for Iranian handicrafts. .
Unfortunately, the market has been shaken a bit in recent years, and perhaps the industry has lost its global position, and some competitors such as Pakistan and India have been pushed back and failed to compete with them in terms of price and variety of designs. Factors such as global political tensions and weakness in marketing and advertising have further weakened Iranian carpets in export markets.
According to the report, with the weakening of export markets, the prosperity of handmade carpets in the country also declined, and the Iranian carpet market faced a general recession, and the high carpet depot in warehouses discarded carpet weavers from previous years.
To examine the reasons for the decline in the export of handmade carpets and the actions and policies of government officials in order to revive the export and sale of this national and ancient art and industry, we have sat down with several officials in the field of carpets.
