  when you deal with China you may have job but the iron workers or bowl makers are jobless..So some where something has to give...And why would you store iron in truck for a week...dump it and reload later with magnet! or use trailers or rubbish bins like usa so the trailers can sit while truck heads still work!

  The government of Ghana instituted this ban on scrap metal in order to keep our local stell mills running. Good move. Now , what happened after the ban came into force ?, our local steel industries CANNOT PAY the agreed price on scrap metals and hence we find local scrap dealers forming long queues on the premises of these local industries. Its quite apparent that the reason behind these long queues are not OVERSUPPLY , but the inability or unwillingness of our local steel mills to pay ;

  If we have enough steel factories with the capacity to process all the scrap into usable material,then the ban should stay. If there isn't,then they must be allowed to export the rest until we add to our capacity.After all they are ridding us of these potentially harmful materials and cleaning the environment with it. On the other hand,if they are not receiving competitive prices here,then that must also be addressed.

  This mahama administration is the most insensitive in our history. How can he allow his own kinsmen to suffer. 90% of the people in the trade are from the North. They should demonstrate against him now

  If indeed our local steel industries, for a reason, cannot pay the scrap dealers what is due them, then of course this ban should be looked into again. It appears the local steel mills , on the heel of the governmental ban on scrap metal export, have grown complacent and it appears they are holding these scrap dealers 'to ransome'

  If this ban on the export of scrap metal is not reviewed to tailor to mutual advantage of both the local steel mills and the scrap metal dealers in this country, both the steel industry and the scrap metal dealers would loose eventually, and Ghana stands to loose even more in the long run.
