Cement and clinker exports fall 7% in 2016
VOV.VN - Vietnam domestic sector cement and clinker exports in 2016 are estimated to have fallen 7% against 2015 on the back of fierce competition with cheaper product churned out by producers in other countries.
The Philippines and Bangladesh were the two largest buyers of Vietnamese cement and clinker for the 11-month period, importing 3.5 million tons at US$163.7 million and 4.3 million tons at US$129 million, respectively.
The only three consumer markets registering growth in imports for the January- November period were the Philippines (up 65.7%), Mozambique (up 39.3%) and Australia (up 36%), said Vietnam Customs.
