Dr. Amir Akbari, CEO of Jam Petrochemical Company, on the sidelines of the company’s 2025-2026 fiscal year general assembly, in an interview with “Rahbord Energy”, in response to the registration of records in diversifying the feedstock and product mix and diversifying the company’s target export markets, stated: One of the reasons we were able, despite this level of tensions—whether in the form of increased utility and feedstock prices or military tensions in the region and shutdowns—to achieve 105 trillion tomans in operating income and 11.5 trillion tomans in net profit, was precisely this strategy of changing feedstock, changing target markets, reducing costs, and increasing production.
With this we were able to increase total production volume by 5 percent, which was one of the reasons for our success in setting records.
Regarding whether African and Middle Eastern markets had previously been a priority for Jam Petrochemical or have newly become a priority, Akbari stated: These markets existed before, but exports to them grew by more than 200 percent, and right now Jam Petrochemical’s main priority is the markets of Africa and the Middle East and neighboring countries.
