Factors that Affect the Prices of Cables on the Tanzanian Market
One thing is constant, change. This statement cannot be truer than the prices of cables in the Tanzanian market. These prices are almost constantly changing. The changes are a result of several factors. We have outlined some of them in this section. Check them out below:
Quality
Just like it is for other items, the quality of cables determines how much they cost. All cables are not the same. They are made from different raw materials. The source materials and the manufacturing process determine the quality of the cables. Most Tanzanian manufacturers maintain certain quality standards to make their products affordable.
Size
Size is another very important determinant of the price of cables. As you would have seen from the price list above, there are different sizes of cables. The different sizes of cables are used for different purposes. We measure cables in cores, kilograms, and millimeters. What this means is that a cable with 4 cores, for example, will cost more than one having 2 cores.
Brand
The brand of a cable is a very important determinant of its price. It is very difficult to see two different brands having the same prices. There are several brands on the market, some are popular and others, not so popular. A few of the popular brands include Nigerchin, Nocaco, Cutix, Neucon, and Coleman. The more popular a brand is, the higher the cost of its products.
Government policies
The government plays a major role in determining the cost of products on the market. Certain government policies like import duties, importation bans, restrictions on the use of certain materials could all influence prices. Prices of cables could rise or fall depending on what policies the government set in place.
