The shipments were from producers in the southeastern states of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo (354,300 mt at $422/mt), Maranhão and Pará, in the north (76,100 mt at $425/mt) and Mato Grosso do Sul, in the central western region (49,200 mt at $396/mt).

During the first 10 months of 2023, Brazil exported a total of 3.29 million mt of pig iron, against 3.11 million mt during the same period of 2022.
