According to the South China Morning Post, in the first half of 2025, Brazil’s rare earth exports to China doubled in volume, and China’s rare earth imports surged to a historical high. The report states that Brazil’s rare earth export value to China reached $6.7 million, three times that of the same period in 2024. Although this figure remains relatively small in absolute terms, analysts believe it indicates China’s efforts to persify its sourcing channels for strategic minerals.
