Speaking to NIPNA, Hossein Shahryari said a consortium
of urea exporters is to be established in Iran, adding currently five petrochemical
plants are exporting urea in the country.
Comprised
of three phases, Pardis Petrochemical Plant provides 1.075 million tons of urea
in each phase, supplying 65 percent of the country's urea exports. Last week,
the third phase of the plant came on-stream.
Mr. Shahryari further said a company needed to be
formed to orchestrate urea exports of petrochemical plants across Iran given
the fact that several projects are operational and a number of others are under
way.
