[Ferro-Alloy.Com]At the beginning of  September, the operating rate for HC ferrochrome plants in Henan province is around 30-40%. The plants in production are facing with thin profits due to the high price of electricity. Most HC ferrochrome in this area is quoted at the price between RMB6,300/T and RMB6,400/T. A market downturn is commonly expected by most of the producers. Some plants have halted the production. The plants will not resume the production until there is an upturn, the managers said.
