However, take current HBIS purchase for instance, the ex-work price for silicon manganese already lowered to around RMB5,900/mt in Ningxia area. In fact, producers in local area put on the verge of loss. While in south area, higher power price pushes up production cost to the point of above RMB6,000/mt.
