TEHRAN - Iran produced 390,700 tons of paper in the first four months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 21-July 22), according to the data released by Industry, Mining, and Trade Ministry.

The ministry’s data show that the country’s paper output has increased 4.3 percent in the four-month period of this year from that of the previous year, IRIB reported.

The head of the Iranian Syndicate of Paper and Cardboard Manufacturers says that considering the country’s potentials and capacities Iran could easily become a hub for the supply of mentioned products in the region.

“Due to the general conditions and available facilities, Iran has the potential to become a regional production hub in many industries including the paper and cardboard sector,” Abolfazl Roghani Golpayegani told IRNA in June 2021.
