Chart: Which countries are falling behind in gold mine production
India tops the global ranking with demand nearly 50 times that of its mined supply.
KIEV Ukraine’s steel production totalled 3.53 million tonnes in the first two months of this year, around 0.6 percent lower than a year ago, steelmakers’ union Ukrmetallurgprom said. Steel is one of Ukraine’s biggest exports. Data from the union showed pig iron output fell by 7% to 3.36 million tonnes in January-February, while rolled steel production dropped by 0.4% to 3.09 million tonnes.
