Borates The Turk of the Town

摘要

Right now, the talk of the town in borates supply is Turkey. The issue in question is the future ownership of Turkey's borates industry-ie. two thirds of the world's borates reserves and a 40% stake in the world market. The impact of Turkish borates supply strategy in light of announced capacity expansions coupled with the ownership outcome, for which the deadline appears to be mid-year, will have a profound effect on consumers and the market in general. Elsewhere, South America continues to vie for a foothold in the market while US Borax increases its output.
