Static’s South Africa has announced that manufacturing production has fallen to 13.7 percent compared with July 2008.
The decrease has been attributed to lower production in the basic iron and steel, non- metal products, metal products and machinery.
The petroleum, chemical products, rubber and plastic products division (-10.2 percent and contributing -2.5 percent) and motor vehicles, parts and accessories and other transport equipment division (-22.1 and contributing -2.3 percent) also contributed to the decrease.
