Brazil exported 108,900 mt of manganese ore in September, against 72,241 mt in August, according to customs. The increase reflects chiefly a higher volume exported to China.
The main destination in September was India (57,121 mt at $126/mt), followed by China (48,140 mt at 146/mt), Vietnam (1,620/mt at $152/mt), and Colombia (1,605 mt at $320/mt), all FOB conditions.
The exports were from mines located in eight states of the country, with different quality grades, resulting in widely different prices, with an average at $138/mt FOB.
