Speaking to NIPNA, Mehdi Masoumi
Esfahani said: “The petrochemical industry is the generative engine of the
country and is touted as one of the main pillars of supporting local manufacturing.”
Noting that the industry has a
special position in export and generation of value added, he said today the petrochemical
industry, as a valuable and dynamic industry, has become the country's non-oil
export center. And the support for this industry should be considered because
of its value added generation and high employment.
The member of the Tehran Chamber
of Commerce stated: “The petrochemical industry has created a good opportunity
for the economy of the country, which should be used in the best possible way,
because the production capacity of this sector is very large and, fortunately,
it is well on its way to development.”
He further added that the petrochemical
industry is a productive industry for the country and is recognized as one of
the main pillars of support for domestic production.
Masoumi Esfahani continued: “Support
for petrochemical companies during the US boycott on Iran will lead to more
exports.”
