KIEV, Aug. 2 - Zaporizhia Ferroalloy Plant, Ukraine’s No. 2 ferroalloy producer, will probably suspend production of silicomanganese this month due to weak demand on world and domestic markets, UkrFA ferroalloy maker association reported Monday.

The company, which currently operates at 25% of its capacity, has been gradually reducing output of ferroalloys during the past three months due to a seasonal drop in demand, but also due to high production costs, the association said.
