Iran opens trade fair in Kabul & Iran NPC to increase annual products
Iran has opened a fair in the Afghan capital of Kabul, introducing export opportunities, investment and marketing in the country's private sector.

Iran's ambassador to Kabul Fada Hossein Maleki and Afghan Minister of Economy Abdul Hadi Arghandiwal were present in the inauguration ceremony on Sunday, 18 July.

The four-day event has been organized by Afghanistan's Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Civil Service Commission and Iran's Trade Promotion Organization and is held at the site of the Afghan Tribal Council.

"Two big Iranian companies, namely National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Co. and Petrochemical Commercial Co., are present in the fair," it is quoted Mehrdad Sadrzadeh, the secretary of the fair, as saying.

Fifty Iranian companies have offered their products in the fields of medical equipment, construction equipment, food industries, building facilities and oil, gas and petrochemicals.



-- Managing-Director of the National Petrochemical Company (NPC) of Iran Gholam-Hossein Bayat reported Sunday, 18 July, on the increase in the annual NPC products that would reach 100 million tons at the end of the Iranian calendar year of 1394 (March 20, 2016).

Addressing a number of NPC staff members, Bayat said 70 projects are planned to be implemented in order to achieve that goal.

He further called for construction of new petrochemical complexes to match the increase of gas production in the South Pars gas fields.

The National Petrochemical Company touched 34.4 million tons of products last year, the NPC chief said.

If there was any problem, the NPC would be capable of producing 17 billion liters of gasoline per day, Bayat further said.
