STEEL AND TRADE IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA. Introduction:
Zambia Economic Statistics, Zambia Economic Indicators for the Year 2010. Scrap metal dealers oppose export ban. DEALERS in scrap metal have challenged steel and iron manufacturers to create their own reserves by bidding for raw materials from the mines' salvage yards rather than influencing the government to impose the export ban of scrap metal.
The government has imposed various measures aimed at developing the steel industry in Zambia because the importation of steel and iron products was affecting local manufacturers. Other measures include the introduction of 25 per cent duty on importation of grinding mill balls. But dealers have said the government should level the playing field since local manufacturers offered lower prices that force them to export the raw material. "We have employed people and we have borrowed money from banks and we have also signed contracts with steel companies in South Africa hence we appeal to government to give us grace period to fulfill these engagements.
" Steel Guru : Zambia government gives incentives to steel industry - 212956 - 2011-07-05. Government has with immediate effect introduced incentives aimed at protecting the local steel iron and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries.
Notable measures include the banning of exports of scrap metal in order to create reserves of raw material for local iron and steel manufacturers and preferential government procurement to local pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Exports of scrap metal will not be allowed and government has imposed a 25% duty on importation of grinding mills balls and another 25% import duty on rolling stocks spares for underground mines.
