In July, the output was 98,000 tonnes, meaning South America’s primary aluminium production increased in August by 2,000 tonnes.

In Q3 2021, South America’s primary aluminium production totalled 295,000 tonnes, up by 5,000 tonnes or 1.72 per cent from 290,000 tonnes in Q2 2021. On a year-on-year basis, the output stood 16.95 per cent higher than 245,000 tonnes.
