KIEV, March 14 - Zaporizhia Ferroalloy Plant (ZFP), Ukraine’s No. 2 ferroalloy producer, may shut down next month if power prices continue to increase, a company official said Wednesday.

Pavlo Kravchenko, the head of the ZFP’s board, said the company’s production costs were already too high and ferroalloy markets uncertain, putting its operation on the brink of profitability.
