The most Iranian manufacturing industry in the country needs special attention

Handicraft products have a prominent feature in terms of production process, which has distinguished them among other products of the country. Availability of abundant raw materials, cheap start-up cost of a specific job in handicrafts, fast efficiency, cheap labor, wide domestic and foreign sales market, the possibility of exporting luggage and high exchange rates in the face of sanctions, unparalleled variety and good quality of products and most importantly Iranian It is a distinctive feature that can distinguish and highlight handicrafts among all industries in the country.

Fast, sustainable employment and the need for the least investment is another distinguishing feature of handicrafts that, if taken into account, will solve an important part of the country’s economic problems and untie the livelihood of families. In addition to all these characteristics, the superior feature of other handicrafts is that various projects in this field are the best opportunity to facilitate women’s employment and help this 50% of the population, whose employment share in our country is only 13%.

The existence of these privileged features has made the need to pay attention to the development of handicrafts more important. What seems to be important and instructive in this field is to pay attention to education, which can be scientifically managed by using the formal education model in the best possible way, the indigenous and unique knowledge of the generations and their innate knowledge, and by applying it to handicrafts. He defined a fundamental role in the country’s economy.

With proper training, self-confidence, entrepreneurship and channeling of local industries in the national arena and even in international markets can be promoted.

What emerges in the process of developing handicrafts as more issues and problems is the issue of stagnation and inactivity of these industries in the corners of houses and neighborhoods, which often remain in the same original and classic form of previous generations. While today, thanks to the existence of a variety of machine tools and machines, it is possible to give a significant speed to the production of handicrafts with exactly the same format and quality as manual and mass production, but we are still in the taboo of absolute handling with very low efficiency.

Another issue is the marginalization of these industries as a side job alongside the main job of people who pursue it only in leisure and entertainment. Paying attention to the insurance category of handicraft artists is perhaps the most accessible solution for job stability in this field. Undoubtedly, if this job security is created among artists and craftsmen, handicrafts as a first job can be considered by many people in the community.

Since handicrafts are possible both in the workshop and at home based on indigenous and traditional skills, in fact the home industry is in various forms, the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts can appoint a special working group to identify components (or independent home production units) Which are scattered among different urban and rural neighborhoods and areas to establish trade union relations. This working group will organize monthly meetings to bring together and consolidate the top ideas of these small entrepreneurs. Undoubtedly, the repetition of this process in the future will give birth to more evolved and transcendent ideas.

Supporting the spontaneous processors of handicrafts in the form of providing sufficient facilities as well as helping to sell and market their products will undoubtedly breathe new life into the body of these industries, and in fact the owners of these industries will do their industrial work with more ease and courage.

In the end, it should be said that handicrafts in Iran have very special capacities that need a more special look from the authorities to be in the development process. Undoubtedly, if the Ministry of Heritage, Culture, Tourism and Handicrafts removes the leading obstacles and provides the necessary support to support this most Iranian manufacturing industry, we can witness the growth and prosperity of an important part of the country’s economy and Iranian families.
