TEHRAN: Iran exported 2.263 million tonnes of petrochemical products valued at $1.494 billion during March to August this year, a senior official from the Iran Petrochemical Commercial Company (IPCC) was quoted as saying in a report.
Mehdi Sharifi Niknafs, executive director, IPCC, said that during the five-month period, 16 consignments of liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane) weighing 218,000 tonnes were exported bringing in $87 million.
He had predicted that the removal of banking, insurance and transportation sanctions would facilitate the export of petrochemical products at lower cost.
