MYSTEEL: China's ferrochrome output falls in September

China's production of high-carbon ferrochrome (FeCr) in September fell 1.7% month on month to 937,450 tonnes, marking the second consecutive monthly decline, according to Mysteel's latest survey of FeCr smelters hosting over 95% of total domestic capacity.

The drop came as smelters faced widening losses, prompting many producers to cut output or suspend operations, Mysteel Global learned. Inner Mongolia, the country's primary production hub in North China, produced 729,700 tonnes of HC FeCr last month, accounting for 76.7% of the national total, down 1.4% from August. Hunan province
