据海关统计，今年上半年，我国进口铁矿砂及其精矿3.7亿吨，同比增加9.7%；价值508亿美元，下降5.9%；进口平均价格为每吨138.7美元，下跌14.2%。进口均价下跌的主要原因是：

According to customs statistics，In the first half of this year，Our country is imported iron ore and concentrate 370 million tons，Increased by 9.7% year-on-year；Value of $50.8 billion，Fell by 5.9%；Import average price of $138.7 per ton，Fell 14.2%。Import all valence is the main reason of the fall：

　　其一，全球钢铁产量增长乏力，铁矿砂需求放缓。今年以来，欧债危机继续发酵，全球经济增速动能不足致使钢铁需求相对疲软，全球钢铁产量增长乏力。据世界钢铁协会（WSA）统计，5月份全球62个主要国家和地区粗钢产量13056.6万吨，同比仅增长0.7%；当月日均产量421.2万吨，环比下降1.6%。粗钢产能利用率从4月的81.3%降至79.6%，比去年同期也降低1.4个百分点。全球最大的钢铁生产商安赛乐米塔尔公司已经将其在欧洲的25座高炉中的7座予以闲置，并计划再闲置两座高炉。全球钢铁产量的持续低迷直接导致了铁矿砂需求放缓，国际市场铁矿砂价格受到明显抑制。

one，Global steel production growth lack of power，Iron ore demand slowdown。Since this year，The debt crisis continue fermentation，The global economic growth kinetic energy shortage of iron and steel demand the relatively weak，Global steel production growth lack of power。According to the world steel association（WSA）statistics，May the global 62 major countries and regions crude steel output 130.566 million tons，Only 0.7% year-on-year growth；The daily output of 4.212 million tons，Link fell by 1.6%。Crude steel capacity utilization rate from 4 months of 81.3% to 79.6%，Also 1.4% lower than the same period last year。The world's largest steel producer arcelor mittal company has its in Europe 25 seat the blast furnace and seat to be idle，And plans to idle two blast furnace。The global iron and steel production of continuous downturn led directly to iron ore demand slowdown，The international market price of iron ore by obvious inhibition。

　　其二，国内钢铁产量增速大幅放缓，进口价格难以维持高位。数据显示，上半年国内钢铁产量增速大幅放缓，1至5月累计粗钢产量同比仅增长2.2%，远低于本世纪以来近15%的年均增速。据中国钢铁工业协会最新数据，6月下旬重点大中型企业粗钢日均产量为165万吨，环比6月中旬下降0.32%。产能回落抑制铁矿砂需求，钢铁企业铁矿砂采购量明显下降。5月份以来，中小钢厂开始减产，缩短原料采购周期，导致港口库存持续高位运行。5月末，我国港口铁矿砂库存量达到9724万吨[6]。进口铁矿砂需求的放缓导致进口价格同比持续走低。

The second，Domestic iron and steel production growth slowed sharply，Import prices to remain high。Data display，In the first half of the domestic iron and steel production growth slowed sharply，1 to 5 month accumulative total crude steel production increased by 2.2% year-on-year only，Far below this century nearly 15% of annual average growth。According to the China iron and steel industry association latest data，Late June key large and medium-sized enterprise crude steel daily output of 1.65 million tons，Link mid-june fell by 0.32%。Capacity dropped inhibition iron ore demand，The iron and steel enterprise iron ore procurement was evidently decreased。Since may，Small and medium-sized steel mills cut production start，Shorten the raw material purchase cycle，Lead to port stock continued high operation。At the end of five，Our country iron ore port stocks reached 97.24 million tons [6]。Import iron ore demand slow lead to import prices continue their slide year-on-year。
