Tin output from Indonesia, the world’s largest exporter, may plunge about 20 percent this year as bad weather disrupts mining, the energy ministry said.
Output may drop to about 85,000 metric tons compared with a full-year target for production of 105,000 tons, Witoro Soelarno, secretary to the director-general of minerals, coal and geothermal, said in an interview. Production last year was also 105,000 tons, according to a Dec. 31 estimate from the ministry.
