Niyazliyev added, Turkmenistan, which has an impressive export potential, is able to supply Austria with high-quality chemical products produced at the enterprises of the State Concern «Turkmenchemistry». Including – polyethylene and polypropylene, environmentally friendly gasoline from natural gas of the ECO-93 brand, granular urea, potassium chloride, technical iodine and carbon.
