Can tax policy catalyse chrome beneficiation?

Africa’s governments are under pressure to localise value while keeping investment flowing. Treating chrome as ‘critical’ reframes the conversation: the metal anchors steel, manufacturing, and export revenue, and intersects with PGM supply chains. With a 25% export tax for chrome under consideration in South Africa, it raises the question – will this support local beneficiation or erode global competitiveness?
