flag Congo will enforce cobalt export quotas starting Oct. 16, 2025, to stabilize prices and boost local processing.

flag The Democratic Republic of Congo will maintain its cobalt export quota system starting October 16, 2025, setting limits of 18,125 tons for the rest of 2025 and 96,600 tons annually in 2026 and 2027. flag The move, replacing a previous export ban, aims to stabilize prices, boost local processing, and assert national control over its vast cobalt resources, which supplied about 70% of global demand in 2024. flag While Glencore supports the system, CMOC opposes it, citing production limits. flag Quotas are based on historical exports, with 10% reserved for national projects, and adjustments may occur in the long term. flag The government retains authority to reclaim underperforming mining concessions.
