💧 China May Ban Sulfuric Acid Exports Starting May 2026
China is reportedly planning to ban exports of sulfuric acid from May 2026 due to disruptions in sulfur supplies from the Middle East, according to Bloomberg citing industry sources.
The restriction would apply to sulfuric acid produced as a byproduct of copper and zinc smelting in China. The move is aimed at preserving domestic supply during the peak agricultural planting season.
If officially implemented, the ban could put additional pressure on global markets—particularly impacting the metallurgical sector and fertilizer production.
▶️ Notably, the global sulfur shortage continues to intensify, driving prices higher. Earlier, Russian fertilizer producers called for price caps on sulfur amid rising costs. Russia has already imposed a ban on exports of technical sulfur until June 30, 2026.

🍷 Importers shift from France to Argentina: South American wine sales in Russia surge
In 2025, sales of Argentine wine in Russia increased by 60% compared to 2024, while imports of sparkling wines from Argentina doubled. This was reported by Argentina’s Ambassador to Moscow, Enrique Ignacio Ferrer Vieira.
The main driver behind this shift is the increase in import duties on wine products from so-called “unfriendly” countries such as France, Italy, and Spain, which has made European wine significantly more expensive.
As a result, Russian importers have been actively increasing purchases from Argentina, as well as Chile and South Africa.

🌍 Top Countries by Copper Reserves
Just five countries control over 50% of global copper reserves: Chile, Australia, Peru, DR Congo, and Russia.
🇨🇱 Chile alone dominates with the largest share, while Australia and Peru remain key resource hubs with massive untapped potential. The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to expand its role, especially with rising investment in African mining projects.
⚡️ Why it matters:
Copper demand is set to surge, driven by:
Electrification & EV production
AI infrastructure and data centers
Expansion of global power grids
Despite significant global reserves, extraction is becoming more complex and capital-intensive — increasing the risk of future supply shortages.
📊 Bottom line: Copper is becoming one of the most strategic commodities of the next decades.

🍺 Russia’s Beer Industry Moves Toward Hop Self-Sufficiency
Russia’s beer sector remains heavily dependent on imported hops — about 95% of supply comes from abroad (>4,000 tons annually). Germany dominates, while U.S. imports spiked to $819K in Feb 2026.
This reliance makes the industry vulnerable to sanctions and logistics risks, pushing brewers to diversify supply and revive domestic production.
Currently, only ~200 hectares are cultivated (5–7% of demand). Key investments:
Baltika expanding to 600 ha
700M RUB invested
Deep processing facilities launched
The government plans +1,500 ha by 2030, though full import substitution may take 7–10 years.
📊 The shift is underway, but the path remains long and capital-intensive.
