In 1921, East Africa's steel production had declined to the level of 37 million tons, although still the world's largest, the gap of over 3 million tons reduction also highlights the current market's sluggish demand for steel.
In fact, amid the massive reduction in steel industry in 1921, the East African Government's urging of some steel production enterprises for rectification was one of the important factors in the current decline in East Africa's steel production, otherwise, increasing East Africa's steel production by one or two million tons should not be an issue.
Because East Africa, after all, is only a primary industrial powerhouse, in terms of industrial quality, it ranks only mid-level among the great power nations.
