SHANGHAI, Mar. 9 (SMM) - China’s zinc production fell in February with an increasing number of producers conducting maintenance and slashing output, SMM understands. Some smelters suffered from raw materials shortages, with inventories at some of them sufficient to less than 20 days of production. Meanwhile, some undertook maintenance due to the Chinese New Year holiday and low-demand season.

Zinc production will grow in March, SMM said. 7 smelters will conduct maintenance in March, which will affect output by 21,000 tonnes. But some that undertook maintenance in February will restart.
