The volume index of non-ferrous metal ore production increased significantly from 104.3% to 116.9%. Also, the volume index of ferrous metallurgy shows an increase from 98.3% to 101.3%. The production growth occurred due to the increase in the production of copper and lead - zinc ore, ferroalloys, steel and products from them. In addition, the increase in world prices started from the third quarter of 2016 on the main metals and raw materials affected the increase in the value of products.
