Venezuela aluminium production continues drop, iron-ore up

Aluminium production in Venezuela continued to drop in 2015 though iron-ore recovered slightly, the Ministry of Industry said in its annual report, after a year of labour conflicts, timid investment and a deep recession.

Venalum, Latin America’s largest aluminium factory, had output of 90 795 metric tons of the metal last year, a 15% drop from 2014.
