Background
In 2021, China-based Panhua Group announced their plans to develop a steel manufacturing facility inside the Kamanga Agro-Industrial Economic Zone in Philippines.[1] As of September 2023, the construction of the project is expected to be completed by 2026.[2] Originally, Panhua group planned to build the steel plant in the Mindanao region, producing 10 million tons of steel per year. However, the group eventually decided to relocate to Sarangani with a slashed steel capacity of 2 million tons per year[3].
