Some are looking for steel and aluminum up to 5000 million tons per month in Madagascar, to be exported abroad. There is no compliance with the internal trade, it is all illegal trade. That’s why there is a lot of iron theft here in Antananarivo, the price is 800 Ar per kilo.
The profit from the actual exporter, the salary of the collector, the rent of the container, the transport to Toamasina to be received by the ship. Customs duties are also, if legal, revenue for the government.
The government needs to be strict in controlling this type of business. In addition to theft, which occurs frequently, the theft of iron causes great insecurity in many villages.
