While the country’s total market demand in this area has reached around 6,000 tonnes, these figures show that there have been about 2 to 6,000 tonnes of import deficits per year. Both of these are issues that are not related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance is responsible for the assignment.

He said: We do not have production and printing in the field of paper production, but in the field of Tissue and Packaging or Liner, which is fully responsible for the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Commerce, production has improved well in recent years. It has gone and even led to exports; while in year 3, the country produced about 5,000 tons in the Tishu area, up from 3,000 tons in the year 2, while in the year 2 in Tishu paper. It had 8,000 tonnes of imports, up from 3,000 tonnes a year, and even 6,000 tonnes.

According to Moghimi, Tishu production in the country has increased by 2% to 2% in the years, and we have experienced more than a 5-fold decrease in imports, even though we have increased exports to zero, ten times as much. Has reached 6,000 tons.

Ministry is guidance, production is not done.

Mazandaran Wood and Paper Complexes, Pars Paper and Amirabad Paper Complexes are now capable of producing print and paper, while the Ministry of Guidance has set its policy to regulate the market to value tax, he said. Increase zero for those who import this type of paper and exempt them, while reducing salaries and duties and tariffs by 5%.

Deputy Minister of Industry, Mining and Commerce noted: In year 6, the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance changed the type of paper currency payment to 2,5 tomans, which has not led to production now because imports are more economical. ؛ While imported raw materials for printing and publishing paper have to pay 2% VAT and wood input rights, this has made it impossible for the domestic producer to produce; Mazandaran Wood and Paper Factories, Pars Paper and Amirabad Paper Complex are also focused on the production of printing and printing paper; Because of these conditions, they are focused on producing other types of paper and are, incidentally, successful.

“Our proposal to the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance was to shift its type of support to direct support for journalists and to allow print production in the country,” he said.
