There is no doubt that marketing crafts industries is the biggest
preoccupation of the Public Authority for Crafts Industries. It is given the
first priority in drawing up plans and conducting studies on such local and
foreign markets that enjoy big demands for these industries.
Successful marketing is highly dependent on removing the obstacles related
to that sector, such as excess production. This is because production and
marketing of crafts industries is closely linked and one cannot pay
attention to one aspect and ignore the other. High quality production is the
guarantee of marketing. Therefore, the Authority is always keen on educating
manufacturers with the necessity of producing high quality crafts for two
simple reasons: Firstly, to guarantee that the product can be competitive,
thus marketable. Secondly, such craft industries represent eternal historic
symbols as they constitute documentary evidence of the cultural and historic
elements of the country. They are the ambassador of our deeply rooted
civilization abroad. |
