SHANGHAI, Apr 19 (SMM) – The imports of nickel matte, which is also an important raw material of nickel sulphate, decreased 23% month-on-month to 19,300 mt in February, despite a year-on-year increase of 539%. Some high-grade nickel matte production lines in Indonesia were switched into NPI production lines in January, causing the imports of the former to fall in February. However, with the recovery of domestic demand, nickel matte imports are expected to pick up in March.
