According to Liliya Shumyachkova, CEO of
the Ukrogneupor association, the main reason for the decrease was the absence
of orders from mining-metallurgical companies.
Some metal companies haven’t even placed orders
for 2014.
In January metal companies received 293
thousand tons of scrap metal, up by 8% YoY.
Scrap
supplies in warehouses decreased by 45 thousand tons in January and were on the
level of 275 thousand tons by February 1. (Ukrainian metal)
