Trafigura Beheer BV, the world’s second-largest independent trader of non-ferrous metals, plans to expand in Mongolia to deliver more iron ore, coal and copper to the Chinese market.
It secured its first iron ore and coal supply agreements in the country in the past few months, Mikhail Zeldovich, head of Trafigura’s Russia and Mongolia unit, said in a telephone interview from Ulan Bator. Talks on more accords are in progress and Trafigura’s first Mongolian tin shipment is due this week, he said.
