Blue Limestone Steps

These durable Blue Limestone Steps are ideal for any outdoor space. The natural blue hue adds a touch of elegance while providing a slip-resistant surface, making them perfect for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Crafted from high-quality limestone, these steps are built to last and withstand any weather conditions.

As the most important category of mineral products, blue limestone steps has played an important role in Turkey's economy and exports in the past ten years. After the "International Marble Fair" held every spring in Izmir, Turkey's third largest city, importers from all over the world have been placing orders continuously. Marble processing factories in Turkey are producing at full capacity and demand exceeds supply. Mustafa, chairman of the Istanbul Anatolian Marble Merchants Association, said that with the increase in investment and the expansion of production, the annual export volume of earthen marble can reach more than 1 billion US dollars in a few years.

Despite this, the production and export of blue limestone steps is far from reaching its potential. Manufacturers generally report that there is a very serious bureaucracy in Turkey, related laws and regulations are not perfect, multi-departmental duplication management, road and rail transportation problems, port customs declaration problems, too high energy prices, financing difficulties, high surcharges, insufficient incentive policies, etc. These negative factors have severely restricted the development of the marble industry. It is reported that the current application for blue limestone steps needs to be approved and signed by 14 ministries and commissions and more than 150 competent departments of the Turkish government to complete the formalities. No ministries are willing to delegate power. People hope that the new "Minerals Law" can minimize this kind of bureaucracy, but the "Minerals Law", which was brewing 13 years ago, was submitted to the Turkish Parliament 2 years ago and has not yet been approved. The business community is very dissatisfied with this. Large consortia are reluctant to enter the industry. Foreign businessmen are unwilling to invest in the mining industry in Turkey, and domestic investment is not prosperous. Incomplete laws and regulations and a serious bureaucratic system have affected the enthusiasm of investors. It can be seen that blue limestone steps merchants are struggling to operate and have suffered many difficulties in order to open up the international market. Therefore, the promulgation of the "Minerals Law" and the early resolution of many of the above-mentioned problems are the prerequisites for the further development of the soil blue limestone steps industry.
