That was because the project would yield low business efficiency with an estimated less than 9 per cent pretax internal rate of return. Besides, the Vietnamese partners had to accept stringent requirements and advance a huge sum for bidding procedures.

The project began feasibility studies in 2008. It reported a total investment capital of  $1.5 billion and a designed annual production capacity of one million tonnes of diamonium phosphate fertiliser.
