Tokyo, Feb. 27
Japan's exports of refined zinc in January fell 4.9 per cent from a year earlier to 7,020 tonnes, Ministry of Finance data showed on Friday. Japan's zinc export markets include China, Indonesia and Taiwan. Zinc is used mainly as an anti-corrosive coating in galvanised steel production and in plating to make items such as brass. Global demand for steel has collapsed as leading car makers cut production.
