China: China to encourage exports of minor metals products.


Byline: pinto03

Bloomberg reported that China, the world s largest metals consumer, wants to encourage exports of minor metals products rather than the raw materials to increase the value of shipments.

Mr Liang Shuhe deputy head of foreign trade at the Ministry of Commerce said The majority of China minor metals exports remain in the raw material form. We encourage exports of high value adding, high-end products instead of the raw materials.

China has called on steel and metal producers to increase the value of shipments and close obsolete plants in a bid to be competitive globally. Inner Mongolia which holds the country s largest rare earths deposits, yesterday said it wanted to lure manufacturers to set up in the province to process raw materials.

Mr Heng Kun Shanghai based chief analyst with Essence Securities Co said China has been encouraging its companies to increase higher value added exports and cut exports of raw material resources. To achieve this goal will take a long time. Chinese companies need to grab the downstream market from foreign rivals which have better technologies and experience.

According to the Minor Metals Trade Association The Minor Metals Trade Association (MMTA) is a world-wide industry association whose members are involved in over 35 metals that are not traded on exchanges. The MMTA serves to benefit and promote the interests of the international minor metals industry and the MMTA membership,  minor metals include antimony antimony (ăn`tĭmō'nē) [Lat. antimoneum], semimetallic chemical element; symbol Sb [Lat. stibium,=a mark]; at. no. 51; at. wt. 121.75; m.p. 630.74°C;; b.p. 1,750°C;; sp. gr.
