Steel
The price of steel is influenced by the cost of raw materials, primarily iron ore and scrap metal. West Asian countries often have abundant access to the raw materials required for steel production, such as iron ore and scrap metal. The fundamental principle of supply and demand plays a significant role in determining commodity prices. A free market promotes efficiency by allowing market forces of supply and demand to determine prices. Emirates Steel is a leading steel producer in the Middle East and produces a wide range of structural steel products, including girders.
Metals
Metal is a term used to describe a class of chemical elements that exhibit certain properties and characteristics. Metals are excellent conductors of electricity. Metals have attracted human attention for centuries because people were able to use metals to make high-performance tools that they used in both warfare and logistics. In the 20th century, the discovery and extraction of oil in the Middle East transformed the region's economy. West Asia has a geologically diverse landscape that has undergone complex geological processes over millions of years.
Steel trade in Uganda
Uganda's economy is primarily based on agriculture, which employs a significant portion of the population, though the country has been making strides in industrialization and service sectors. Coffee remains Uganda's top export, followed by other agricultural products like tea, fish, and cotton. In recent years, the country has been exploring oil reserves in the Albertine Graben, which has the potential to significantly change its economic landscape. Uganda is a member of several regional trade organizations, including the East African Community (EAC) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), which enhances its trade with neighboring countries.
