Ali-Mohammad Bossaqzadeh said the country's chemical fertilizer output will boost dramatically as new petrochemical feedstock is expected to be supplied to petrochemical plants from phases 12 and 15-21 of the massive South Pars gas field by the end of the current calendar year.
He said Iran's chemical fertilizer output grew 6% year-on-year during the first half of the current Iranian calendar year to March 20, 2016.
During the six months, Iran's export of chemical fertilizers grew some 12% year-on-year, he added.
Bossaqzadeh said the country's urea output is satisfactory and there is no domestic shortage for the item.
Iranian agricultural sector consumes 1.8 million metric tons to 2mt of urea annually.
