    This report is the sixth edition of the study of the ferrochrome market in Russia, Kazakhstan and the world.

    Market monitoring has been conducted since 1995.

    The purpose of the study is to analyze the ferrochrome market of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the world.

    The object of the study is ferrochrome.

    The presented work is a desk study. The following databases were used as sources of information: UNdata, Statistical Committees of the CIS countries (including Rosstat, the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Statistics Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan), customs statistics of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, official statistics of rail transportation of the Russian Federation; the Mosaic database (2022), materials from the industry and regional press, annual and quarterly reports of issuers of securities, websites of enterprises-producers and consumers of chrome raw materials, as well as the InfoMine database.
