SHANGHAI, Apr 19 (SMM) – According to customs data, China’s net imports of nickel sulphate were 1,825 mt in metal content in February, up 28% MoM and 168% YoY. The growth was mainly contributed by nickel sulphate produced by BHP. Guangdong province dominated 42.21% of the total imports, followed by Zhejiang (28.72%) and Henan (13.49%). Imports by Guangdong ballooned 241.84% MoM. Considering the drop in SHFE nickel prices and the commissioning of new nickel sulphate production lines in Indonesia, it is expected that China's nickel sulphate imports will increase slightly in March.
