Ababoneleli beGraphite e-Afrika bayandisa imveliso ukuhlangabezana nemfuno ekhulayo yaseTshayina yezinto zebhetri. Ngokwedatha evela kuRoskill, kwisiqingatha sokuqala sonyaka ka-2019, ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwegraphite yendalo ukusuka e-Afrika ukuya eTshayina kunyuke ngaphezulu kwe-170%. IMozambique lelona lizwe lithumela igraphite enkulu eAfrika. Inika ubukhulu becala iiflake zegraphite ezincinci neziphakathi zosetyenziso lwebhetri. Eli lizwe likumazantsi e-Afrika lithengise ngaphandle kwe-100,000 yeetoni zegraphite kwiinyanga ezintandathu zokuqala zowama-2019, apho i-82% yazo yathunyelwa e-China. Ukusuka kwelinye imbono, ilizwe lithengise iitoni ezingama-51,800 ngo-2018 kwaye lithumele ngaphandle kweetoni ezingama-800 kuphela kunyaka ophelileyo. Ukukhula okubonakalayo ekuhanjisweni kwegraphite yaseMozambique kubangelwa kakhulu kwi-Syrah Resources kunye neprojekthi yayo ye-Balama, eyasungulwa ekupheleni kwe-2017. Ukuveliswa kwe-graphite yonyaka odlulileyo kwakuyi-104,000 yeetoni, kwaye imveliso kwisiqingatha sokuqala se-2019 ifikelele kwiitoni ezingama-92,000.
U-Roskill uqikelela ukuba ukususela ngo-2018-2028, imfuno yoshishino lwebhetri yegraphite yendalo iya kukhula ngesantya se-19% ngonyaka. Oku kuya kubangela imfuno yegraphite epheleleyo ephantse ibe yi-1.7 yezigidi zeetoni, ngoko ke nokuba iprojekthi ye-Balama ifikelela kumthamo opheleleyo weetoni ze-350,000 ngonyaka, ishishini lebhetri liza kufuna izixhobo ezongezelelweyo zegraphite ixesha elide. Kumaphepha amakhulu, amashishini abo okugqibela (afana ne-flame retardants, i-gaskets, njl.) Ancinci kakhulu kuneshishini lebhetri, kodwa imfuno evela e-China isakhula. IMadagascar yenye yezona zinto zivelisa iiflake ezinkulu zegraphite. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, ukuthunyelwa ngaphandle kwe-graphite yesiqithi kuye kwanda ngokukhawuleza, ukusuka kwiitoni ze-9,400 kwi-2017 ukuya kwiitoni ezingama-46,900 ngo-2018 kunye neetoni ezingama-32,500 kwisiqingatha sokuqala se-2019. Ostreliya. ITanzania iba ngumvelisi omkhulu wegraphite, kwaye urhulumente usanda kukhupha iilayisensi zemigodi, kwaye ezininzi iiprojekthi zegraphite ziya kuvunywa kulo nyaka.
Enye yeeprojekthi ezintsha zegraphite yiprojekthi yeMahenge yeHeiyan Mining, egqibe uphando olutsha oluqinisekileyo lokunokwenzeka (DFS) ngoJulayi ukuqikelela isivuno sayo sonyaka segraphite concentrate. Iitoni ezingama-250,000 zonyuka zaya kutsho kwi-340,000 yeetoni. Enye inkampani yezimayini, iWalkabout Resources, nayo ikhuphe ingxelo entsha yokugqibela enokwenzeka kulo nyaka kwaye ilungiselela ulwakhiwo lomgodi weLindi Jumbo. Uninzi lwezinye iiprojekthi zegraphite zaseTanzania sele zikwinqanaba lokutsala utyalo-mali, kwaye ezi projekthi zintsha kulindeleke ukuba zikhuthaze nangakumbi urhwebo lwegraphite lwaseAfrika neChina.
