The ex-NPC official
also argued that purchase of feedstock and equipment by the producers must be
integrated as well for the industry to grow faster.
“The strength
of any industry depends on integration and unity of its players and the
petrochemical sector is no exception,” Shari Moqaddam, who is now a member of the
NPC board of directors, argued.
He said NPC’s
agenda to integrate petrochemical exporters in the country would be an arduous
task as it requires consent and cooperation of all the producers and players of
the sector.
“This would
call for creation of a new culture in the sector and a kind of managerial
maturity would be required in this regard,” he added.
All
petrochemical holdings and unions must close ranks for materialization of this
agenda, he said.
