According to statistics from the Brazilian Ministry of Economy, Brazil exported around 718,800 tons of alumina in May, sliding by 22.2% compared to the previous month and also falling by 7.8% from the same month a year ago. The decrease was due to a reduction in shipments from the Alunorte alumina refinery.
In May, the export value of Brazil’s alumina reached US$202 million, a year-on-year decrease of 10.67%.
