The weekly production of sample silicon enterprises in north-west China was 11,130 mt, with a weekly operating rate stable at 82%. The statistical scope for north-west China includes Qinghai, Ningxia, and Gansu. During the week, operating conditions in north-west China remained stable, and silicon plants that had previously implemented production cuts had no plans for resumption.

The weekly production of sample silicon enterprises in Yunnan was 2,430 mt, with a weekly operating rate stable at 29%. During the week, operating conditions in Yunnan remained stable. Local operating silicon plants were reluctant to lower prices for signing orders, resulting in relatively average new order transactions and a slight increase in inventory. However, due to the limited number of operating silicon plants in the region, the actual impact of the increased inventory on price changes was minimal.

The weekly production of sample silicon enterprises in Sichuan was 0 mt, with a weekly operating rate of 0%.
