Hasheminejad Refinery daily produces 2,000 tons of sulfur which makes it the country's biggest sulfur producer, the ISNA News Agency quoted Masoud Hasani as saying.

He went on to note that annually some 400,000 tons of sulfur out of the refinery's total output of 600,000 tons are being exported.

"Some 200,000 tons of sulfur worth 40 million dollars will also be sold at the domestic markets," Hasani explained.
