The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) plans to implement cobalt export quotas and cooperate with Indonesia to control global supply and pricing, mainly in order to deal with the global cobalt market oversupply and falling prices, while enhancing its own voice and influence in the international cobalt market. In recent years, the global cobalt market has seen increasing supply, while demand growth has been relatively slow, resulting in Overforsyning og faldende koboltpriser . I 2024 nåede den globale cobaltmineproduktion 300, 000 tons, en stigning på ca. 30%, mens efterspørgslen kun var ca. 250, {{7} tons . som en vigtig komponent i elektriske køretøjer og mobiltelefonbasket, efterspørgslen efter efterspørgsel efter cobalt skal have en bålet med den udvikling af den nye energi og den nye energi industry, but due to a variety of factors, such as the decline of new energy vehicle subsidies, smart phone market saturation, the demand for cobalt has not met expectations, and the price has also fallen. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the world's largest cobalt producer, accounting for 73% of global cobalt production in 2024.

The implementation of export quotas will directly reduce Congo's cobalt exports, thereby easing the supply pressure on the global market and helping to stabilize or even increase cobalt prices. Under the quota system, cobalt exports from the Democratic Republic of the Congo will be strictly controlled to prevent oversupply from causing prices to fall further. Part of the quota will be used to promote the conversion of domestic minerals, that is, to encourage mining companies in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to further process a portion of cobalt ore in the country to produce higher value-added cobalt products. This will not only help increase the added value of the cobalt industry in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but also promote the sustainable development of the domestic mining industry, creating more jobs and economic Fordele . Indonesien er verdens næststørste koboltproducent, der tegner sig for 13% af den globale koboltproduktion i 2024. Samarbejdet mellem Den Demokratiske Republik for Congo og Indonesien vil danne en stærk markedsindflydelse, i fællesskab regulere den globale forsyning og pris for Cobalt, og styrkelse af stemmen i de to lande i den internationale cobale marked, der markedsfører, 7}} 7 Through cooperation, the two countries can better coordinate production and export strategies and jointly cope with market fluctuations and uncertainties, such as changes in demand and adjustments in trade policies.
