    China’s iron ore imports from India rose nearly 90 per cent in 2020, with purchases from Australia and Brazil also up

    Publicado em

    Australia and Brazil, the world’s two largest iron ore producers, remained China’s top suppliers in 2020, but imports from India soared 88 per cent as Chinese mills diversified sources amid sky-high raw materials prices.

    Australian shipments rose 7 per cent to 713 million tonnes, while Brazilian supplies were up 3.5 per cent at 235.7 million tonnes, data from China’s General Administration of Customs showed on Wednesday.

    “The two countries’ rise could not fully meet China’s demand,” said Tang Chuanlin, analyst with Citic Securities, “Mills had to

    buy from other countries.”

    The world’s top steel producer imported 44.8 million tonnes of iron ore from India last year, compared with the 23.8 million tonnes bought in 2019, and was the most in nine years.

    India, the world’s third-biggest steelmaker, suffered a 12.6 per cent decline in the nine months though December from same period year earlier, government data showed, leaving more iron ore to sell to Chinese buyers.
    Tang also noted that Chinese steel firms were using more low-grade ore, like India’s, as part of an effort to lower costs.

    Almost two-thirds of India’s iron ore exports to China had less than 58 per cent iron content, according to Indian mining industry estimates.

    Spot prices of iron ore with 62 per cent iron content for delivery to China jumped 73 per cent in 2020, while 58 per cent iron ore soared 91 per cent, according to SteelHome consultancy.
