The Iran Chamber of Commerce, in its report, has examined the potential capacities for non-oil exports from Qom, particularly emphasizing the export of gemstones. According to this report, gemstones can serve as an important driving force for boosting Qom's exports to foreign markets, especially in the African continent.
Analysis of Target Markets and Business Opportunities
The report from the Iran Chamber of Commerce indicates that Kenya is recognized as a strategic gateway for the trade and export of Iran's technical-engineering services to African countries. Due to its geographical location and easy access to other African markets, this country can act as an important hub for transferring Iranian products and services to this continent.

Advantages of Exporting Gemstones from Qom
Qom, as one of the important centers for the production and supply of gemstones in Iran, has a high diversity of these products. Given the high added value of gemstones and the increasing demand in global markets, exporting these products can help increase the non-oil revenues of the province. The Iran Chamber of Commerce is seeking to create the necessary infrastructure to facilitate exports and also to hold exhibitions and trade events in target countries.
Additionally, the report highlights the necessity of collaboration and synergy between the public and private sectors to achieve export goals. Considering the existing sanctions, diversifying the export basket and focusing on non-oil products can help reduce the country's economic dependency.
However, challenges such as the need for product standardization, effective marketing, and financing for exports have also been raised. The Iran Chamber of Commerce believes that by establishing appropriate mechanisms, these challenges can be turned into opportunities and contribute to the growth and development of non-oil exports from Qom.
