                    [Summary] => The Philippine Metalcasting Association Inc. (PMAI) has urged government to immediately regulate the exportation of scrap steel to avert the collapse of domestic industries such as foundaries, small iron workshops, metal fabricators and steel manufacturers.


In a press briefing, Jerry Hui, director of PMAI, a group of over 100 metalcasting companies, said the sudden surge in scrap steel exports has deprived these industries of badly-needed scrap steel supplies.


He said scrap steel exports have recently surged to about 30,000 monthly from virtually nil last year.
