export of hand-woven carpets in the field of personal economic interests (Case study: Sistan hand-woven carpets)

Economic sanctions have long been used as a tool in the foreign policy of some countries against others. Iran is not outside the scope of this policy and has been under severe economic sanctions for more than a decade. The development of the hand-woven carpet industry is especially important for Iran, which faces problems such as rising unemployment, limited access to foreign exchange resources, oil economy, tax evasion, high inflation, and so on. This study deals with the impact of economic sanctions on personal economic interests and carpet development from the perspective of weavers and those involved in hand-woven carpets in Sistan in the economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions of the carpet industry. Research shows that economic sanctions in the field of individual economic interests affect the economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions of the carpet industry from the perspective of handicraft suppliers.
