Denis Sharypin, Marketing Director of Norilsk Nickel, stated at the 9th Stainless Steel Industry Conference (APAC) in 2024 that the supply of nickel ore in Indonesia still faces challenges and limitations.
Due to a reduction in mining quotas and the rainy season, the country's primary nickel exports have decreased. At the same time, the nickel content in nickel cast iron has decreased from 13% in 2023. By 2024, it will reach 12.2%.
