Asia
India, China, Pakistan and Southeast Asia, principally for mineral and commodity offtake.
Asian demand from South Africa is dominated by minerals. Manganese, chrome and iron ore move in volume to smelters and mills across China, India and Southeast Asia.
These are index-referenced, assay-settled contracts with experienced counterparties, and the commercial discussion centres on grade, penalty scales and the nominated inspection laboratory rather than on headline price.
Volumes typically justify break-bulk parcels rather than container lots, though containerised shipment remains available for smaller trial tonnages.
