According to the latest bureau statistics, China's naphtha production in April registered 661,000 tons, down 8.95 percent from the previous year.
However, during the January to April period, domestic naphtha output completed 2.839 million tons, a year-on-year growth of 133.5 percent.
Experts believe that surge in domestic production was especially because the naphtha price met international price level and refineries increased their production.
At the same time, rapid development of China's ethylene industry promoted the production of naphtha.
