Ali Mohammad Bossaqzadeh told a gathering of senior petrochemical officials and executives in the southern province of Fars that Iranian petrochemical plants processed 46.4 million tons of products (80% of their nameplate capacity) during the previous Iranian year.
Last year, 14.95 mmt of products, down 10% year-on-year, was sold on the domestic market and 18.1 mmt (up 23% on-year) was exported, the official said. The rest was consumed by the plants as feedstock in the petrochemical value chain of the country.
He also predicted that Iran's petrochemical output will cross 54.7 mmt in the current Iranian calendar year given inauguration of a number of petrochemical plants during the year.
