Speaking to NIPNA, Farid Mousavi said that
supporting downstream industries was a necessity for the country’s economy as
it helped generate revenues and jobs.
He said development of the petrochemical industry
must be valued, adding: “If the sector gained the required attention, many of the
economic challenges could be addressed in the country.”
“The petrochemical industry is the most
value-generating sector of the country, therefore access to feedstock is one of
the numerous advantages of developing the sector in Iran.”
