According to Nourullah Abdollahi, the official responsible for handicraft affairs in Isfahan, the province managed to export $15 million worth of handicraft products in the previous Iranian calendar year. The figures reflect the growing prominence of Isfahan’s handicraft industry both domestically and internationally, IRNA reported.
Of the 602 handicrafts identified worldwide, 299 are found in Iran, with 200 of those being located in the historically significant and artistic province of Isfahan. This makes the province a strong player in the global handicraft market, as it has been able to establish a flourishing presence in other countries.
Recently, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Isfahan Province and Tehran Customs to streamline the process of exporting handicrafts. Additionally, a specialized center has been established in Isfahan to facilitate the export of these products, which are renowned for their historical and artistic value.
Moreover, Isfahan Province has a vibrant community of 700 artisans, who are actively engaged in producing and exporting handicrafts. During the past four years, 40 of these artisans have received certification for their products, further enhancing the reputation of the province’s handicraft industry.
