Kiwanda cha tatu kitaanza kujengwa na wawekezaji wa China muda wowote watakapopewa eneo kwa ajili ya ujenzi huo.

Kiwanda cha kwanza ni cha chuma kilichopo Mlandizi mkoani Pwani ambapo kitakapoanza kazi, kitazalisha tani 1,200,000 za chuma kwa mwaka. Aidha, kiwanda kingine cha marumaru kilichopo Mkuranga mkoani Pwani kinatarajiwa kuingiza pato la Dola za Marekani nilioni 150 kwa mwaka, kitakapoanza uzalishaji.

Kiwanda kinachosubiri kujengwa ni cha nguo ambacho kikikamilika kitakuwa na uwezo wa kuzalisha mita milioni 240 kwa mwaka. Mhe. Waziri alieleza kuwa juhudi za kupata ekari 700 kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa kiwanda hicho kwenye Wilaya ya Mkuranga zinaendelea na hivi karibibuni eneo hilo litakabidhiwa kwa wawekezaji hao.
