Congo Orders Cobalt Miners to Give Up Unused Export Quotas

The Democratic Republic of Congo has ordered cobalt miners to surrender any unused export quotas they hold. This directive applies to miners who have not utilized their full allocation of cobalt exports. The order appears designed to redistribute available export capacity among producers in the country. Congo is a major global cobalt producer, and the move may aim to optimize cobalt exports.
