Brazil's steel industry utilizes low-cost raw materials, including high-quality iron ore sourced primarily from major mines in Minas Gerais. Scrap metal for Brazilian steel mills is mainly supplied from the southeast and south regions, originating from obsolete products and industrial scrap provided by mill suppliers. The country is also a significant producer of pig iron, mainly from Minas Gerais and the Carajás region, produced by various small and midsized producers. The cost of pig iron is affected by both domestic and international market conditions, with charcoal and iron ore representing the primary cost components.
