Copper production from the top five countries increased by 2.4% to a collective 12.4Mt in 2021, accounting for 58.6% of the global total. Major increases were observed from Indonesia (48.5%), where underground operations commenced in the Grasberg mineral district, and the DRC (10.7%) where the Kamoa-Kakula project began operations in July 2021. Phase-2 commenced in March 2022 and Phase 3 is slated to begin in 2024. Production from Chile, Peru and the DRC will be crucial for the global supply growth in 2022. Collective production from these countries is expected to increase by 4.9% to 9.94Mt in 2022. In contrast, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is expected to reduce Russia's copper output by 13.2% to 711.8Mt in 2022.
