Buying carpets from Iran by other countries, especially neighboring countries such as Iraq, has several advantages, which I will mention below:
1. Competitive price:
- Low production cost:
- Due to the low production costs in Iran, including cheap labor and access to raw materials, carpets produced in Iran are offered at very competitive prices. These low prices are very attractive to countries like Iraq that are looking for quality products at reasonable prices.
2. Desirable quality:
- Production standards:
- Firouzeh Carpet Factory uses advanced technologies and high-quality raw materials in carpet production, which results in the production of durable and resistant products. This desirable quality has made turquoise carpets popular in regional markets. Product diversity: Iranian manufacturers are able to produce carpets with a variety of designs, colors, and materials that can meet different tastes in destination countries such as Iraq. 3. Geographical proximity: Reduced transportation costs: Iran's proximity to Iraq directly reduces transportation costs and delivery times. This allows Iranian products to reach Iraqi customers at a lower cost than products from more distant countries.
- Speed in meeting market needs:
- Due to this proximity, replenishment of goods is carried out more quickly if needed by the Iraqi market, which helps stabilize supply and demand.
4. Trade and cultural relations:
- Strong trade relations:
- Iran and Iraq have long had extensive trade and economic relations. These friendly relations facilitate trade processes such as customs and imports.
- Cultural partnerships:
- Cultural and religious partnerships between Iran and Iraq also help in the acceptance of Iranian products in the Iraqi market. These similarities can make the designs and styles of Iranian carpets more in line with the tastes of Iraqi customers.
5. Flexibility in financial transactions:
- Various payment methods:
- Due to close economic relations, Iran and Iraq have usually been able to create diverse and secure ways for financial and banking payments, which reduces the risks associated with financial transactions.
6. Easy access to the Iraqi market:
- Customs and tariff exemptions: In some cases, Iranian products may enjoy tariff and customs exemptions in the Iraqi market, which can reduce import costs for Iraqi traders.
- Possibility of border trade: Due to the long shared border, border trade between Iran and Iraq is booming. This type of trade can reduce the additional costs of official imports and make access to the Iraqi market easier.
7. Adaptability to the needs of the Iraqi market:
- Adaptation to climatic conditions:
- Carpets produced in Iran are well adapted to the needs and climatic conditions of Iraq due to similar climatic conditions.
- Adaptation to local tastes:
- Iranian manufacturers can customize their products based on the tastes and needs of the Iraqi market, which helps increase demand.
8. Supply stability and reliability:
- High production capacity:
- Turquoise carpets in Iran have strong production infrastructures that can meet the high demand from foreign markets continuously and sustainably. This stability in supply can be reassuring for importing countries such as Iraq. These advantages, taken together, have helped turquoise carpets find a suitable place in the Iraqi market and become an attractive option for Iraqi importers.
