Tehran, Iran, May 15, 2006--According to Tehran Times, lack of quality and production control has cost Iran an eighty percent loss in Afghanistan's carpet market, said a textile industry official.
He also criticized the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI) for some inefficiencies during an exclusive exhibition of Persian Carpets it recently held in Dubai, saying the low ceiling height was a big problem when they wanted to hang the carpets on the wall to be displayed.
