NPC Export Revenues Up 94% in H1

Iran's petrochemical exports in the first half of the current fiscal year (March 21-Sept. 22) increased by 94%, the National Petrochemical Company’s director for planning and development said.
“NPC exported products worth $7 billion in the six-month period while the figure in the same period of last year was a meager $3.6 billion,” IRNA also quoted Hassan Abbaszadeh as saying.
“The total value of petrochemical exports is projected to reach $14.5 billion by March 2022,” he said.
“NPC’s annual output was 3 million tons in 1979, which has now reached 90 million tons.”
According to the official, 920,000 people are active in the industry and a rise in NPC’s production by 1 million tons can create jobs for at least 170,000 more people.
