The general question of Trade in Kerman has been pressed repeatedly
from Tehran. It is difficult however to see how our 'trade with the Kerman
province can at present be improved. The main articles of import are piece
goods, sugar, tea and Kerosine oil, the balance consisting of necessities such as
metals for vessels, cooking and otherwise, manufactured articles such as lamps
hinges.
More than 90 per cent, of the piece goods are imported by the Hindus from
Manchester and India all being actually despatched some direct from England
by the order of the Hindis' offices in Bombay and Karachi.
Tea is necessarily from India or China, but Indian tea from Calcutta is
practically the only import.
Sugar is imported from India but as India itself imports from Java the main
part of it is Java made.
Kerosine oil comes in the main from the Anglo-Persian Oil Company
Works.
Glass china lamps and hardware are imported from Bombay and are mostly
Foreign made.
His Majesty's Consul has just given a free ticket to Karachi to a large
importer of such articles and ha^ informed him that if he wishes this concession
to be repeated he must see that he purchases material made in the British
Empire. In a free trade country with' purchase in the cheapest market it is not
likely that he will find much in the way of British glass or. crockery.
His Majesty's Consul can see only one way to determine that British goods
are purchased and that is to have a paid British Trade Agent on small pay who
will be in a position to receive orders on samples from British companies, receiv
ing the ordering commission on sales. To present favouritism he should act
under the eye and inspection of the Consul. This plan has however not been
found acceptable by His Majesty's Minister at Tehran, as savouring of Bolshe
vistic methods as associating the Governmont with the. Trade. This may be so
but the plan is the best one and personally His Majesty's Consul can see no objec
tion to the Government being associated with the Trade of its country to keep
such trade as exists from being encroached on by the Russians. ^ t
Kerman is a poor district lives entirely in its agriculture and its carpet
and shawl trade. The people are poor and haye no margin for the purchase of
luxuries.
With reference to the opening of new trade until the country is developed
His Majesty 's Consul can only echo the opinion of Major Lorimer in 1913 when
he said in his Trade Report " in the present condition of the country it would
be cynical to call on foreign compierciaf pjiterprise to direct its attention further
to Kerman.''
The country may shortly be developed and therefore Consuls must keep
their eyes open for such future development when they are actually likely to be
possible but for general import at the present minute in the words of the Report
on the Commercial Mission to South lEaster# Persia for 1905.
Exports consist of barpets, guns and pistachio nuts. The exports of
carpets is mainly in the hands of foreign tirms, 50 per cent, of the total manu
facture of the fine carpet known as the Kerman carpet being in the hands of the
Oriental Carpet Manufacturers, Lipited of London, with its main office at
Smyrna. The other firms in order of importance are :—
American-Armenian-—
Messrs. H. S. Tavshanjian.
Messrs. Costikyan.
