Morowali Industrial Park, Indonesia's largest nickel hub, said it could cut output 30-40% if new water sources are not found after an El Nifio-driven drought constrained smelters' water supply, media relations head Dedy Kurniawan said. Park management is seeking nearby water sources and implementing mitigation measures to limit production impacts. Indonesia supplies over half of global nickel output, much of it processed in two large industrial parks; potential reductions at Morowali could help

Morowali Industrial Park, Indonesia's largest nickel hub, said it could cut output 30-40% if new water sources are not found after an El Nifio-driven drought constrained smelters' water supply, media relations head Dedy Kurniawan said. Park management is seeking nearby water sources and implementing mitigation measures to limit production impacts. Indonesia supplies over half of global nickel output, much of it processed in two large industrial parks; potential reductions at Morowali could help stem a roughly 17% fall in LME nickel since early May.
