As announced by a provincial official, 13 idle industrial units returned to the production cycle in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari province, since the beginning of current Iranian calendar year (March 21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mohammad-Kazem Monzavi, the deputy head of the province\u2019s Industry, Mining and Trade Department for industrial affairs, said of the mentioned 13 units, eight were inside the industrial parks and five were outside the industrial parks of the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As announced by the head of Iran Small Industries and Industrial Parks Organization (ISIPO), in the last Iranian calendar year, 1,557 stagnant and semi-active units returned to the production cycle in the industrial parks with a financing of 35 trillion rials (over $120.6 million), providing employment for 27,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the aim of reactivating stagnant units or units that are operating below capacity, 900 consultants from the private sector and knowledge-based companies were selected in the form of industry clinics across the country to recognize the weaknesses of these units, Ali Rasoulian has previously stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDespite the two major challenges of sanctions and coronavirus pandemic, which imposed severe restrictions on the country, we tried to activate domestic capacities by turning to localizing the technology of manufacturing parts and equipment\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sanctions have caused problems for financial exchanges and the export of goods to other countries, he said, adding, \u201cThe negative effects of coronavirus pandemic on various parts of the country, including industry, are not hidden from anyone, and the economic growth of some countries has reached below zero during this period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iran is proud that despite these restrictions and pressure from these two important challenges, its industry has grown by more than seven percent, according to the statistics and reports from various sectors, the official further highlighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, as announced by Deputy Industry, Mining, and Trade Minister Mehdi Sadeqi Niaraki, over 6,500 new industrial units were established across the country during the past year which created jobs for over 121,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Touching upon the Industry Ministry\u2019s plans for the realization of the motto of the current year which is named the year of \u201cProduction: support and the elimination of obstacles\u201d by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the official has said: \u201cIn the year that has been dedicated to the production sector by the Leader of the revolution, the orientation of all government organizations and executive bodies should be towards supporting the country\u2019s industrial and mining units.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niaraki pointed to a 40-percent increase in the issuance of establishment licenses for industrial units in the previous year, saying: \u201cThe number of establishment licenses increased to more than 36,000 last year, which shows that people are encouraged to invest in the productive sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also mentioned an 85-percent rise in the allocation of land for establishing industrial units across the country and noted that over 4,500 hectares of land were handed over to applicants in the previous calendar year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
