Hosseini told NIPNA that the petrochemical industry was a lucrative and
profitable industry for the country, adding the petrochemical sector was one of
the country's mother industries, which need to be supported by the government
and the private sector to flourish.
He said petrochemical
companies contributed greatly to the country’s non-oil exports and revenue
generation, and stated that investment and application of the latest
technologies were direly needed in the sector.
“Provided
that the conditions are set for the presence of investors in the industry,
major investments can be made possible in the sector,” he added.
Hosseini called
for optimum exploitation of petrochemical potentialities, adding abundant
feedstock resources and skilled and experienced workforce were some of the
advantages of developing petrochemical projects in Iran.
