Iran position among marble producers in the world

Iran has the largest resources and quarries of precious stones in the world. Annually, a huge amount of these stones are extracted from various quarries in the country. This amount of exports can reach a much higher volume.

In fact, the lack of new machinery and technologies in the country has been effective as a limiting factor in the country's marble export industry. Iran is known as the fourth country in the world in terms of rich marble resources and the second country with stone resources in the world.

In a general ranking, the volume of stone reserves in different countries of the world is estimated at 15 billion tons, while Iran has a reserve of 4 billion tons, among countries with various stones such as marble and granite. Despite these rich and valuable resources in the country, the share of exports of various stones such as marble in recent years has been 13.
