Viet Nam’s cement industry saw strong growth in cement exports in the first quarter of this year as many Chinese cement factories shut down due to pollution and power shortages.
Viet Nam should have a long-term strategy to make cement a large-scale
and high-value export product to give a boost to the country''s export
revenue, said Deputy Minister of Construction Nguyen Tran Nam.
Viet Nam''s cement exports could face challenges this year as most
producers are operating on a small scale, thus forcing them to sell
their products through middlemen.
Cement exports reached 12.5 million tonnes in the first 11 months of
this year, up 63 per cent over the same period last year, according to
the Ministry of Construction.
