The Governor of Bushehr stated that completing downstream petrochemical industries is considered one of the main goals of the province's economic development. These industries, with the capability to produce high added value products, can help strengthen the value chain and create sustainable employment in the region.
Importance of Developing the Value Chain
The petrochemical value chain includes various stages from raw material extraction to processing and production of final products. The Governor of Bushehr, referring to the existing capacities in this industry, reminded that by completing the value chain, it is possible to increase national revenues and improve the quality of life for the people. For example, Bushehr province, as one of the important centers for petrochemical product production in the country, has the capacity to produce more than 5,000 tons of various petrochemical products daily.

The Governor of Bushehr also referred to international collaborations and foreign investments in the petrochemical sector and emphasized that Bushehr province, as a strategic point in Iran's petrochemical industry, can be an attractive destination for foreign investors.
