2,000 closed rural production units will be revived

In an interview with reporters on Wednesday, on the sidelines of the operation of two furniture and knitwear production units in Mashhad, Seyyed Mir Hossein Madani added: “One of the important issues in the field of production is the revival of stagnant or semi-stagnant units.” Although part or all of the capacity of these units has been shut down, they are capable of rehabilitation and growth, and for this purpose, the rehabilitation of stagnant units in deprived areas and rural industrial areas is a priority.

He said that this year, in the revitalization of economic units, a plan has been considered with the aim of using the capacity of knowledge-based companies, adding: The tripartite, with the participation of the Omid Entrepreneurship Fund, the Innovation and Prosperity Fund, and the Research and Technology Fund, will be connected to the industry to be revitalized and re-created.

The Vice President for Rural Development and Deprived Areas stated: “This year, three thousand billion rials of credit has been allocated through the Entrepreneurship Fund for the entry of creative industries into rural areas and deprived areas, so that we can witness prosperity in the rural production sector.”

Today, in the presence of the Vice President for Rural Development and Deprived Areas and the CEO of Omid Entrepreneurship Fund, a furniture production unit in Georgian village with a direct employment capacity of 15 people and a knitted and knitted production unit in Khalqabad village of Mashhad with a employment capacity of five people were put into operation.
