TEHRAN - Iran Chamber of Guilds and Iran Small Industries and Industrial Parks Organization (ISIPO) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cooperate in various fields, IRIB reported.

The MOU was signed in a meeting between the heads of the mentioned entities in Tehran on Monday.

Speaking in this meeting Head of Iran Chamber of Guilds Mojtaba Safaei said: “Currently, more than 70 percent of the country's export products are produced in small enterprises, while the capacity of this sector has not been used optimally.”

He proposed that the heads of the chambers of guilds across the country become members of the ISIPO board in order to increase the interactions between the two bodies.

“Unfortunately, in the previous statute of the ISIPO, export advantages were mostly aimed at the industry sector, therefore, in the form of the upcoming memorandum, we have proposed that the guilds' potential capacities be used by joining the heads of guild chambers in the ISIPO,” Safaei said.

“We want small producers to distribute their products in the market without intermediaries,” he added.
