Iran is the largest producer and exporter of gasoline in the Middle East and exports directly to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Armenia, the Republic of Azerbaijan and Iraqi Kurdistan, a deputy oil minister said Monday.
“In 2017 our gasoline production was 59 million liters per day. In 2019 it reached 107 million liters,” ISNA quoted Alireza Sadeqabadi as saying.
Iran imported “17 million liters of gasoline per day in 2017, and if timely were not taken the country would need to import 40 million liters per day of gasoline in 2019.”
The Persian Gulf Star Refinery, launched in 2018, was indeed a changemaker in weaning away from importing gasoline from that year and soon after exporting the fuel to neighbors, Sadeqabadi noted.
