JK Paper – a leading Paper Manufacturing Companies in India will co-ordinate with Sojitz Corporation in Japan to build a 180 million USD pulp mill in Quang Ngai province-located Dung Quat Economic Zone, being hub of multi-billion USD-large-scale heavy industrial projects and having 11 wood chips plants, a source from Dung Quat Economic Zone (DEZA) said.
”The project may be licensed in the upcoming months” said by Mr Le Van Dung deputy head of DEZA on July 15.
He added: “some relevant ministers and provincial leaders are visiting JK Corporation in India discussing the would-be-invested pulp project in the central province of Quang Ngai, with its designed capacity of 200.000 tons of products per year.”
It is said that in 2007 Sojitz sent its proposal to Quang Ngai Government for building a 600.000-ton pulp mill with total investment of 1 billion USD.
According to figures released by Vietnam Pulp and Paper Association, the national paper consumption on year is reported to be over 3 million tons. However, the national paper outcomes are estimated at 2.18 million tons so that a volume of 1.3 tons of paper products are said to have been imported from foreign countries.
A source from Quang Ngai’s Department of Industry and Trade goes, there are 21 operational wood chip plants throughout the province, of which 11 plants locate in Dung Quat site. The annual capacity per each is designed to be 35,000-40,000 tons of products.
The outcomes have been chiefly exported to some Asian developed countries such as China, Japan and Korea.
