13 new cement operations go on line
The Ministry of Construction and the Vietnam Cement Association have announced that an additional of 13 cement production lines, with a designed capacity of 11.7 million tonnes, will be completed in 2010.
When these production lines are put into operation, the cement industry will have a total capacity of nearly 70 million tonnes a year.
However, the cement supply will be redundant in the following years as consumer demand is expected to increase by 10-15 percent this year.
