According to Tondgouyan Petrochemical Company, Ahmad Mahdavai told reporters on Sunday that currently no disruption was recorded in production and export of petrochemicals despite the stifling US sanctions on Iran, adding the new administration must pay special heed to the industry as one of the strategic, hard currency-generating sectors of the country.
He stated that one of the reasons for the high hard currency generation of the industry is the increase in the average price of petrochemical and polymer products by $80 to $100, adding that the production capacity of Iran's petrochemical industry will soon reach more than 100 million tons and later to 137 million tons per year.
The APIC Secretary General further stated that in the current situation, more than 50% of the country's hard currency needs are met by the petrochemical industry, calling on Ebrahim Raeisi’s administration to pay special attention to the sector.
