In May Ukrainian scrap procurers exported 112.57 thousand tons of scrap, the maximum amount since July 2015 despite the decree of the District Administrative Court of Kiev that prohibited scrap exports after March 16.
Because the decree was ignored, scrap export increased by 11% YoY.
In April Ukraine exported 82.47 thousand tons of scrap, with 11.54 thousand tons exported in Q1. In August-December 2015 monthly exports didn’t exceed 100 thousand tons. (Ukrainian metal)
