China's rare earth exports rose 19.2% YOY in March, customs data showed on Tuesday, hitting their highest since at least 2014 as a backlog of product was shipped, helping the industry rebound from a January-February slump due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Exports totaled 5,551.4 tonnes last month, the General Administration of Customs said, up from 4,659 tonnes a year earlier. The March number exceeded exports in January and February 2020 combined and was the highest monthly total in records on the customs website going back to June 2014.
For the first quarter, China's rare earth exports were down 2.3% YOY at 11,040.6 tonnes.
