FTI vice chairman Songwoot Graipaspong said Thai industrialists have been severely affected by the dumping of hot-rolled steel sheet from China and boron-added coils, or chromium, from South Korea.
More than 300,000 tonnes of hot-rolled steel sheets have been exported by China to Thailand from January to July this year, and the volume will be as high as 400,000-500,000 tonnes at the end of this year.
He said 265,000 tonnes of boron-added coils have been imported from South Korea, adding that the volume is higher than last year and there is a tendency that it will be much higher, he added.
