Akbar Mirzapour, Head of TAPPICO’s Commodity and Energy Exchange
Operations, stated that the 34,000-ton shipment reinforces methanol’s strategic
presence on the exchange. Following the first successful export of Fanavaran
methanol to China on Nov. 17, this second shipment was sold on Dec. 1 at the
highest competitive price, with four international buyers participating in the
bidding.
Mirzapour emphasized that TAPPICO’s new policy prioritizes using
commodity exchanges for both domestic and export sales, aiming to maximize
transparency, profitability, and protection of stakeholders’ assets. Future
steps include sourcing raw materials, equipment, and even by-products through
the exchange, reinforcing the platform as a key channel for all TAPPICO
subsidiaries’ transactions.
