Hoa Phat Group sold 383,000 tonnes of steels in October

During last month, the Central region was continuously affected by storms and floods. Unfavorable weather conditions are the main reason for the slower growth in finished steel consumption compared to the previous month.

In the first 10 months of the year, Hoa Phat’s steel output reached 4.6 million tonnes of crude steel, 2 times higher than the same period last year. Its sales volume reached nearly 4.14 million tonnes, of which finished construction steel was over 2.7 million tonnes, representing 28.6 per cent year-on-year increase. Finished steel exports reached 435,000 tonnes, more than 2 times higher than the corresponding period last year. The sale of square steel billet was 1.4 million tonnes.
