Tight supply of high-quality manganese ore · Rising production costs of manganese alloys This week, India's silicomanganese export price rose by $58/ton. The rising cost of imported manganese ore and tight domestic supply (delayed shipments, low inventory) are driving up silicomanganese export prices. Due to changes in global demand and continued disruptions in the supply chain, silicomanganese exporters are cautiously seizing this opportunity. On June 3, 2024, the FOB price of silicomanganese 6014 was $1,121/ton, up $53/ton from last week.
