b/ Annual average growth rates over the next 10
years time (in capacity):
- Manufacture of unwrought steel (steel cast):
To increase by 15% annually on average;
- Manufacture of rolled steel: To increase by
10% annually on average.
2. Development orientations:
a/ Regarding the investment structure:
To balance the development between downstream
activities (rolling, laminating, post-rolling processing) and upstream
activities (iron ore extraction, cast manufacture), to step by step strive for
a substantial self-supply of steel cast for rolling and lamination. To combine
the diversification of product categories and specifications so as to meet the
market demand with the selective and rational development of a number of
high-quality steel products for mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and
automobile manufacture, and special-type steel for defense industry. The
development of the steel manufacture and the exploitation and use of domestic
natural resources (first of all iron ores) must ensure rationality and
effectiveness.
b/ Technologically:
To utilize modern technology and automation at
high level, save raw materials, fuel and power, ensure environmental standards
in order to be able to manufacture high-quality steel at low costs, with
increased productivity, and capable of competing with steel manufactured in the
region and world. Selected technologies must be durable and flexible (to be
upgraded and modernized when necessary); to replace obsolete, inefficient and
environment-unfriendly technologies.
c/ Mobilization of various investment capital
sources:

d/ Regarding the development of raw material
sources:
In the five-year 2001-2005 plan, to concentrate
on research so as to get solid and scientific conclusions on the commercial
deposits, exploitation capacity and use of domestic iron ores, primarily Quy Xa
and Thach Khe iron ore mines. To exploit to the utmost other small iron ore
mines for the manufacture of pig-iron, fully exploit the source of domestic
steel scraps, and at the same time to seek for stable sources for importing
steel scraps for the efficient manufacture of steel cast by electric furnaces.
e/ Regarding markets:
The steel industry shall dominate the domestic
market in terms of categories, quality and specifications as well as prices of
common-type steel, and be able to find export outlets; step by step meet the
needs for steel sheets and plates as well as special-type steel in service of
the mechanical engineering. To strive that by 2010 the domestic steel
manufacture shall satisfy 75%-80% of the domestic steel consumption demand, of
which the Vietnam Steel Corporation (including its proportions in joint
ventures) shall represent over 50% of construction steel and around 70% of
steel plates and sheets.
f/ Regarding the human resource development:
To attach importance to the training and
re-training of the contingents of metallurgical engineers, managerial personnel
and skilled technical workers; to invest in scientific and technological
research in order to meet the development requirements of the steel industry.
g/ Investment projects in the 2001-2010 period:
The investment projects in the 2001-2005 period
shall be incorporated in the 2001-2005 five-year plan (Appendix I). The
investment projects after 2005 are for orientation (Appendix II).

budget capital and ODA capital for the formulation of the industry’s
development planning; key projects; develop areas of raw-material iron ore and
flux; invest in infrastructural works in the raw material-exploiting areas, new
large-scale metallurgical factories, environmental treatment projects; invest
in the training and scientific and technological research work of various
institutes and schools in the industry.
2. To permit upstream development projects
(exploiting iron ores, manufacturing steel cast):
a/ To borrow the State’s development investment
credit capital at a preferential interest rate (3%/year) as set out in the
