Pham Chi Cuong, chairman of the
Vietnam Steel Association (VSA), has stated that
Vietnam exported 1.87 million mt of finished steel in the first nine months of this year, up nearly 44.5 percent year on year.
In the first nine months of this year, the total value of
Vietnam's steel finished exports reached $1.3 billion. The increasing volume of
Vietnam's steel exports is a positive sign for the local steel industry in which supply is currently double demand, the VSA chairman said.
In the first nine months, the steel
billet exports of
Vietnam totaled 285,600 mt. The value of steel
billet, steel tube, steel coil,
stainless steel and steel bar exports from
Vietnam all increased sharply in the given period.
The VSA chairman said the association is cooperating with many domestic steel enterprises to help boost their steel export volumes.
