Elsewhere in his remarks, he put the number of industrial and production units in this city at 7,105 and added, “these units have generated at least 13,000 direct job opportunities.”
Turning to the problem facing Qoochan Bicycle Mfg. Factory, he said, “Bicycle Mfg. Factory in Qoochan has experienced a considerable production decline in recent years, so that this factory will need 7 billion tomans worth of facilities in order to settle existing problems.”
Head of Qoochan House of Industry, Mine and Trade pointed to a tile manufacturing factory in this city and said, “with the coordination made in this regard, effective steps have been taken to reactive this industrial and production unit in this city.”
