Speaking on the sidelines of the 16th Iran Plast showcase, Saeed
Shirdel said that the PDH/PP project needs $1 billion of capital: "Now its
license has been purchased and we are in the process of handing over the land. Implementation
of this unit will begin after the contractor is appointed.”
Referring to the quality of the Iran Plast exhibition and the strong
presence of businessmen from CIS countries, he emphasized: Considering the
existing conditions, the 16th Iran Plast exhibition has been well received and
we expect that our expectations will be fulfilled by the end of this exhibition
period.
Emphasizing that last year the company was able to export items to 31
international markets, he said: “We are trying to expand exports, so far we
have been able to reduce the share of the Chinese market in the product and export
our polymer products to their markets instead.”
Shirdel emphasized that currently 45% of Jam's petrochemical products
are exported to China and 55% to Turkey, CIS countries, Europe, India and
Africa.
He also said about the discovery of new export markets: “We were able
to enter the markets of Singapore, Vietnam and Kenya in Africa and export.
Also, we resumed exports to India due to the favorable prices. Good conditions
are prevailing now and we were able to enter about eight new countries in the
field of export.”
