development.
"Currently, 68 production complexes with a nominal

according to the plans, the production capacity of the petrochemical industry
is expected to exceed 100 million tons by the end of the next calendar year [to
March 20, 2023]," he said.
Shahmirzaei emphasized on the support, interaction and
cooperation of the National Petrochemical Company with the petrochemical
companies of Pars region in order to facilitate and remove some obstacles in
the production route, adding: "There are very good capacities for the
development and completion of the value chain in the region and use them in the
best way.”
Emphasizing that the duty of the National Petrochemical
Company as a government and development-oriented institution is to support
various sectors of the industry, he said: "Completing the chain and
creating value added should be considered with the aim of reducing crude sales.”
He continued with the cooperation of Pars Energy Special
Economic Zone Organization and National Petrochemical Company, some problems of
petrochemicals in the region will be solved in the shortest possible time.
