  • China's shipments of CCM, DBM and FM exceeded 1m tonnes in just over half a year but slumped over the past three months as production issues slashed availability.

    China has exported as much magnesia in the first seven months of this year as it normally does in a whole year, but shipments have stalled and are now falling by the month.

    The pattern of Chinese trade of magnesia products in 2017-to-date has been characterised by a surge in exports in the first few months of the year.

    The increase was of such magnitude that Chinese trade in the seven months to July 2017 was equivalent to what the country exports in 12 months during an average year.
