The Deputy Minister of Labor said sericulture has very strong potential for stabilizing and expanding employment, given its limited initial investment needs, rapid return rate, and alignment with regional and rural advantages.

The Deputy Minister of Labor said: Noghandari has a very good capacity to stabilize and develop employment due to the need for limited initial investment, fast rate of return and adaptation to regional and rural advantages.

According to Ambassador Arjan from the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare, a specialized meeting was held to review the employment capacities in the country's "silk" sector, with the presence of Seyed Malik Hosseini, Deputy Director of Entrepreneurship Development and Employment of the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare, Saeed Abbasi, Director General of the Investment and Employment Affairs Coordination Office of the Ministry of Interior, managers of related institutions and private sector activists in this field.

In this meeting, Seyyed Malik Hosseini listed the micro-economy and businesses connected with local capacities as the most important pillars of the stability of the country's business environment and stated: Noghandari sector has a very good capacity to stabilize and develop employment due to the need for limited initial investment, fast and high rate of return and adaptation to regional and rural advantages.

Referring to the lived experience of producers in the spontaneous connection with production chains without factories, he reminded: the main role of the government sector in this process is facilitation, removal of obstacles and policy support so that the natural flow of the economy can follow its path of growth with higher productivity.

Emphasizing the need for realism in employment goals, the deputy of entrepreneurship and employment development of the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare stated: the success of development programs depends on taking measured, continuous steps and relying on accurate performance indicators; In such a way that focusing on the gradual but stable improvement in the drive lines will be more effective than general plans without operational attachments.

Hosseini also mentioned the necessity of redefining and diversifying the value chain of Noghandari and emphasized: Silk cocoons and products should not be limited to the textile and carpet industries, but the targeted entry into new transformation industries such as the pharmaceutical, health and cosmetic fields can create higher added value for the chain and improve the elasticity of demand in the market.
