Abahlinzeki be-graphite e-Afrika bandisa umkhiqizo ukuze bahlangabezane nesidingo esikhulayo sase-China sezinto zebhethri. Ngokwemininingwane evela kwaRoskill, engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2019, ukuthunyelwa kwe-graphite yemvelo kusuka e-Afrika kuya e-China kukhuphuke ngaphezu kwe-170%. IMozambique iyindawo edayisa kakhulu i-graphite e-Afrika. Ihlinzeka ngokuyinhloko ama-graphite flakes amancane naphakathi kwezinhlelo zebhethri. Leli zwe eliseningizimu ne-Afrika lithumele amathani ayi-100,000 e-graphite ezinyangeni eziyisithupha zokuqala zowezi-2019, okungama-82% awo athunyelwa e-China. Ngokomunye umbono, izwe lathumela ngaphandle amathani angama-51,800 ngo-2018 futhi lathumela ngaphandle kwamathani angama-800 kuphela ngonyaka odlule. Ukukhula okunamandla ekuthuthweni kwe-graphite yaseMozambique kudalwe kakhulu yi-Syrah Resources kanye nephrojekthi yayo ye-Balama, eyethulwe ekupheleni kuka-2017. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-graphite ngonyaka odlule bekungamathani ayi-104,000, futhi ukukhiqizwa engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2019 sekufinyelele amathani angu-92,000.
U-Roskill ulinganisela ukuthi kusukela ngo-2018-2028, isidingo semboni yebhethri ye-graphite yemvelo sizokhula ngesilinganiso esingu-19% ngonyaka. Lokhu kuzoholela ekufuneni okuphelele kwe-graphite cishe amathani ayizigidi ezingu-1.7, ngakho-ke ngisho noma iphrojekthi ye-Balama ifinyelela umthamo ogcwele wamathani angu-350,000 ngonyaka, imboni yebhethri isazodinga izinto ezengeziwe ze-graphite isikhathi eside. Kumashidi amakhulu, izimboni zabo zabathengi ekugcineni (njengama-flame retardants, ama-gaskets, njll.) zincane kakhulu kunemboni yebhethri, kodwa isidingo esivela e-China sisakhula. IMadagascar ingomunye wabakhiqizi abakhulu bama-graphite flakes amakhulu. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, ukuthunyelwa kwe-graphite esiqhingini kukhule ngokushesha, kusukela kumathani ayi-9,400 ngo-2017 kuya kumathani angama-46,900 ngo-2018 kanye namathani angama-32,500 engxenyeni yokuqala ka-2019. Australia. I-Tanzania isiba umkhiqizi omkhulu we-graphite, futhi uhulumeni usanda kukhipha kabusha amalayisense okumba izimayini, futhi amaphrojekthi amaningi e-graphite azovunyelwa kulo nyaka.
Omunye wemiklamo emisha ye-graphite iphrojekthi ye-Mahenge ye-Heiyan Mining, ephothule ucwaningo olusha olucacile lokunokwenzeka (DFS) ngoJulayi ukuze lulinganisele isivuno saminyaka yonke se-graphite concentrate. amathani angu-250,000 anyuke afinyelela ku-340,000 amathani. Enye inkampani yezimayini, i-Walkabout Resources, nayo ikhiphe umbiko omusha wokugcina wokwenzeka kulo nyaka futhi ilungiselela ukwakhiwa kwemayini i-Lindi Jumbo. Eminye imiklamo eminingi ye-graphite yaseTanzania isivele isesigabeni sokuheha ukutshalwa kwezimali, futhi le miklamo emisha kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubekisele phambili ukuhwebelana kwe-Afrika nge-graphite neChina.
