Dr. Ghadirly, the chairman of the Board of Iran Feed Industry Association with a group of forty people entered Istanbul on Thursday May 4th, 2017 and they attended in Istanbul International Exhibition Center, for opening event of the IDMA Fair at 11:00 AM. In this event Dr. Ghadirly presented a short speech about Iran feed Industry. In his speech he mentioned that Iran has an experience of production of Industrial feed for more than 60 years which contains 3 generation of Technology. Further he stated the condition of production, exportation of feed in 5 past years as well as Iran Feed Industry Association`s plans for next 5 years.
He added that in the past years the Turkish side requested for revision of traditional way of holding Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation between the two governments. In this context they suggested a plan with the title of “Enabling the private sector” so that both sides can concentrate on it.
In this context, I would like to announce that Iran's new economic policies are summarized in the three following topics:
1- Participation of the maximum people and non-governmental enterprises in the economy
2- Reliance on internal capabilities
3- Looking at abroad and foreign market demand
Fortunately today there is a Common theory among the main economic actors of Iran which confirmed that relying on petrodollars for the implementation of major projects by large governmental firms doesn`t have effective result. Therefore, the regime in Iran decided to rely on the growth of private sector for achieving sustainable development.
Dr. Ghadirly added that you should consider Iran as a market of 400 million populations, not an 80 million one. Iran's young and educated population, rich source of energy with the indubitable advantage as well as professional and experienced firms with the structural immunity against extremism, without any hesitation, is a great production platform and as a market of the hundreds of millions in this region.
He continued, “Further by having better access to Central Asia, Russia, the Caucasus, the Persian Gulf, Pakistan and Afghanistan, we can have a profitable cooperation for our products and services.”
He stated that lack of understanding of the potential and existing business opportunities of each other, Prevent the exploitation of the commercial opportunities. In this regards, he suggested forming a “Taskforce” for investigating and resolving different aspects of this matter and he emphasized to pursue actively this issue.
At the end he appreciated the hospitality of Turkish people as well as the efforts of exhibition managers and wished successful for all of the businessmen of Turkey.
