According to recent reports from multiple foreign media outlets, Guinea, the world's largest bauxite producer, is in negotiations with mining companies over controlling market supply to curb the downward trend in raw material prices. It is reported that the price of bauxite, a raw material for aluminum oxide production, has nearly halved since early 2025. One of the main reasons for the sharp decline is the significant increase in supply, far exceeding market absorption capacity. It is understood that Guinea accounts for about 70% of global bauxite supply, with exports reaching 183 million tons in 2025, a year-on-year increase of 25%. (CCTV Finance)

According to reports from multiple international media outlets in recent days, Guinea, the world’s largest bauxite producer, is holding discussions with mining companies over how to control market supply volumes in an effort to curb the momentum of falling raw-material prices. The reports say that, as a key input for producing alumina, the price of bauxite has nearly halved since the beginning of 2025. One of the main reasons for the sharp drop in prices is a surge in supply that far exceeds the market’s ability to absorb it. It is understood that Guinea accounts for about 70% of global bauxite supply, and its 2025 exports reached 183 million tons, up 25% year over year. (CCTV Finance)
