The purpose of the present article is to recognize the competitiveness of the industry and determining the vulnerable industries and offering guidelines for logical supporting the competitive industries and adopting preventing and precautionary measures and policies for reducing the probable damages.
For achieving this goal we have utilized the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and the value of the exports and the imports as well as the products of each industry within the context of the 4-Digit level ISIC.
The obtained results show that those industries producing chemicals materials and other non-metallic products, foodstuffs, textiles, wears, leather, shoes and initial metallic products on basis of the above mentioned criteria have been accorded more relative priority over the other sectors during the negotiations about joining WTO. Logical planning for supporting these industries and making them influential for public information through mass media by the government will pave the way for structural changes in the Iranian industry for further concordance and compliance with the requirements of the world markets and the modifications made in the WTO during the period of joining.
