Handicrafts exports from Kermanshah province hit $8 million in the first six months of the past Iranian calendar year (started March 21, 2018), with handmade pairs of Kalash constituting the lion’s share of exports, according to data compiled by the provincial tourism department.

Some 11,000 people are currently engaged as crafters across Kermanshah where 60 fields of handicrafts are being practiced.

In late 2017, Marivan, a historical city in Kermanshah, officially celebrated being named a world crafts city for Kalash, in an event attended by Ghada Hijavi, the head of World Crafts Council-Asia Pacific Region.
