TEHRAN, Sep. 18 (MNA) – The National Petrochemical Company (NPC) is seeking to ensure the maximized involvement of domestic manufacturers and contractors in petrochemical projects, the NPC CEO said.

According to NPC, he added that 56 petrochemical plants of the country yielded 31 million tons of finished products annually, of which 22.5 million tons were exported and 8.5 million tons were consumed domestically.

He added that the total value of petrochemical products from domestic sales and exports was $17 billion annually.
