The credit sales were initiated with the aim of
supporting complementary industries, which the Supreme Leader and other
officials have focused on developing for several decades to prevent the sale of
raw materials.
During the panel on marketing and applications of
downstream petrochemical industries at the IPF international conference,
Gholami emphasized the importance of creating more diversity in the production
of products, particularly in the complementary industries sector, to make the
petrochemical industry more unsanctioned.
He suggested importing types of petrochemical
products that are not produced in the country and finding investors for the
surplus of petrochemical products to convert them into more valuable downstream
products.
Gholami highlighted the provision of working
capital as the most significant challenge facing the country's petrochemical
complementary industries.
He added that the credit sales of petrochemical
complexes began last year, enabling the industry to support complementary
industries.
He noted that the credit sale of 4,500 billion
tomans worth of products in March marked a significant milestone in the
initiative.
Despite severe sanctions, the petrochemical
industry has been the most valuable industry in the country. To develop the
value chain in the industry, Gholami suggested using advanced technologies and
processes to convert surplus petrochemical products into more valuable
downstream products.
The director's comments suggest that the industry
is looking to diversify and expand its market through complementary industries
and advanced technologies, indicating a positive outlook for the petrochemical
industry's future in Iran.
