The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources addressed over 60 requests regarding the availability and competitiveness of petrochemical raw materials for manufacturing facilities in the Kingdom, through its specialized digital platform.

The ministry explained in a statement that this comes within the framework of its efforts to boost the integration of petrochemical supply chains locally.
