Referring to the fact that petrochemical products were being
produced in the country in a satisfactory fashion, Seyed Jalal Mir Hashemi
added: “This year, production has increased by 6% year-on-year from March 20 to
May 10.”
Iran's petrochemical industry is braced for a production
leap this year due to the existing capacities and ongoing measures, he said,
adding new projects are planned to come online and idle capacities of certain
facilities be tapped in order to optimize operations in the sector.
“The petrochemical industry as one of the parent
industries is one of the most important pillars of development and the driving
force of various sectors of the country's economy,” the official said.
