TEHRAN, September 11, 2016

Iran revealed that it exported 8.724 million tonnes of petrochemical products worth $3.6 billion from March 20 to August 21, said a report.

According to a report by National Petrochemical Company (NPC), the production of petrochemicals reached 21.238 million tonnes during the five-month period, added Iran Daily News, citing IRNA.

In the month to August 21, the output of petrochemical complexes stood at 4.215 million tonnes, of which 1.859 million tonnes worth $569 million were exported, the report added.

The country's petrochemical production capacity is currently 61 million tonnes and the figure will almost double to reach 120 million tonnes by 2025.

For the first time, two Iranian petrochemical shipments were dispatched in late August to Brazil.

Iranian petrochemical industry pursues diversification of export markets for petchem and polymer products as a major policy in the post-JCPOA period, added the report.
