Background
In 2019, China's Kunming Steel announced its plan to build an integrated steel mill with annual capacity of 4 million tonnes in Myanmar. The blast furnace-based plant was planned to be constructed in two stages of 2 million tonnes each, along with sintering, coking and power generation facilities. The mill is expected to produce hot-rolled coil, rebar, wire rods and sections.[1] According to the 2022 OECD steelmaking capacities, the project is still in the planning phase.[2] Kunming Iron and Steel was acquired by Baowu Steel, the world’s largest steel producer in February 2021.[3]
