The increase in the figures of 1930 is the reflection of the boom year of 1928-29.
The Kermani carpet is over a year on the looms and there is therefore a consider
able lag between the state of the market and that of the weaving industry. How
ever, in spite of these figures, the situation at the end of the year was a serious one. j
One thousand of the 4,000 looms were idle and it is calculated that in another 6
months only 1,000 looms will be working. As 75 per cent, of Kerman’s exports are
carpets and she scarcely grows enough foodstuffs for her own consumption, the
outlook is indeed black and a period of acute distress is in store.
