Russia is faced with the need to create its own production of rare metals

The Ministry of Industry and Trade included in the strategy for the development of metallurgy until 2030 the goals of import substitution of rare metals, as well as chromium and manganese. This follows from the draft strategy prepared by the ministry (Vedomosti has it). The need for rare metals before the start of the NWO in Ukraine, according to the Accounts Chamber (CA), was covered mainly by imports.

Previously, Rosatom, Rostec, Norilsk Nickel, Gazprom and other large corporations announced large projects for the extraction of rare metals, but the task of import substitution is still far from being realized. “Vedomosti” understood what hinders the development of the industry and whether Russia has a chance to get rid of import dependence.
