China slashes chromite imports by one-third in April

摘要

Chinese imports of chromite recorded an abrupt slowdown in April, when shipments of the material entering the country fell by almost one-third on slow buying patterns. China Customs data released in June shows total chromite imports (across all grades, including metallurgical and non-met) stood at a mere 724,412 tonnes in April, marking a 28% drop against the previous month, when just over 1.01m tonnes were shipped.
