Month-on-month, Japan increased its production of benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX) in March by 11%, 13% and 9%, respectively, the Japan Petrochemical Industry Association says.

Total benzene production was 369,300 m.t. versus 331,700 m.t. in February, but down 4% from 384,100 m.t. in March 2014. Overall toluene production hit 180,900 m.t. against 160,400 m.t. in the previous month and spiked at 41% when compared with 128,100 m.t. year-on-year. Production of xylenes reached 558,000 m.t., up from 511,200 mt in February but almost unchanged from the 559,300 m.t. accumulated in the corresponding month of 2014.
