Steel production in Ukraine reaches a record high
In September 2017, steel production in Ukraine reached the highest recorded volume in the last eight months. This was reported by UAprom, referring to the data of the Association of Enterprises of Ukrmetallurgprom.
The average daily steel production in Ukraine increased significantly. The country produced 64,500 tons in September, bringing the year-long production output to a total of 526,200 tons. At the same time, the average daily production of pig iron continues to grow, topping out at 488,700 tons by the end of September.
September’s steel production marked an increase for the third month in a row and turned out to be the highest for the last eight months. Moreover, the average daily production of pig iron and steel reached its maximum since January 2017.
The industry has shown remarkable progress in the face of earlier reports that Ukraine declined in the ranking of worldwide steel producers.
