Prospects for the increased production of and Intra-African trade in copper metal and copper-bsed products

Abstract

This study was sponsored by the UNECA and VN1D0 with view to promoting the increased production and utilization of copper in the African region by all development actors including governments, the domestic and foreign private sectors, and all other interested parties. Mintek, South African minerals research organisation was contracted to participate in these investigations. Particular emphasis in this study is therefore directed to the promotion of African industrialisation based on indigenous copper and the promotion of intra-African trade in copper metal and copper-based products for consumption in the economies of the African region.
