South African manganese ore Mn 37% grade is largely imported by China’s ferro alloys producers. Due to supply disruptions caused by Transnet’s workers’ strike, imports of manganese ore have become costlier. The hike in wages of workers as well as transportation issues to port have pushed up ore prices. As per SteelMint assessment, the monthly average prices of South Africa-origin manganese ore rose by 3% m-o-m to $4.18/dmt CNF Tianjin in October 2022.
