世界最大的稀土供应国中国2012年稀土的出口额，由于稀土价格下降刺激需求的增长，可能比2011年的出口额翻一番。

　　中国商务部对外贸易司负责人去年12月27号就2012年第一批稀土出口配额有关问题答记者问的时候表示，截至2011年11月，中国累计出口稀土14750吨，仅占全年出口配额的百分之四十九，大量的出口配额没有使用。尽管如此，虽然面临巨大的资源、环境和国内需求的压力，为了保障国际市场的需求，保持稀土供应的基本稳定，2012年的出口配额总量仍然与2011年持平。

　　彭博社引述曾经担任中国工业和信息化部副部长的王彩风的话说，由于去年稀土的价格高昂使得买家却步，导致库存枯竭。而通过非法管道的走私也影响了稀土的出口。

Bloomberg quoted once served as the deputy minister of industry and information of the WangCaiFeng words,Because of the high price of the rare earth last year that buyers hang back,Lead to inventory exhaustion.And through the illegal pipeline smuggling also influence the rare earth export.

　　可是自从去年第三季度以来，由于包括电子汽车和风力涡轮的制造商减少了对稀土的使用使得稀土的价格下跌。比方说中国境外最大的稀土矿藏的持有者莫利公司在纽约的股票的价格就下跌了百分之三点一。而世界上规模最大的稀土提炼公司LYNAS公司的股票价格在澳大利亚悉尼下跌了百分之四点七。

Former Chinese industry and informatization, vice minister of WangCaiFeng is currently planning to help set up a rare earth association in China,Hope that the future of China's rare earth products export international pricing/Export quota plays a certain influence,Lead the healthy and orderly development of the industry.

　　据中国《每日经济新闻》引述王彩风的话说：“如果仅仅涉及开采和冶炼两块的企业，那协会就失去意义，国家不能永远处于对外卖资源的阶段，我们考虑的是一个完整的产业链，不但有树根树干树叶，还要有果实。”

According to the Chinese[Daily economic news]WangCaiFeng quoted as saying:"If only involved in mining and smelting two pieces of enterprise,The association is meaningless,Countries can't always in foreign sell resources stage,We consider is a complete industrial chain,Not only has the root tree leaves,Have fruit."

　　该协会将在信息统计、国际合作交流、适度平抑价格等方面发挥作用。王彩风表示，中国政府鼓励中国公司在海外开发稀土资源来减轻国内供应商的压力。

　　稀土是17种金属元素的总称，这些元素对国防、冶金、机械、汽车和电子行业都有广泛的用途。中国的稀土储量占世界总储量的百分之三十，却控制了世界上百分之九十五的稀土市场。近年来中国削减了稀土的出口配额，造成稀土国际价格飞涨，也使得中国的贸易夥伴，例如日本和美国，感到愤怒。中国表示，削减稀土出口配额的目的是为了保护供应，减少采矿对环境造成的损害。

Rare earth is the floorboard of the 17 kinds of metal elements,These elements on defense/metallurgy/mechanical/Automobile and electronic industries have been widely used.China's rare earth reserves accounted for thirty percent of the world total reserves,But control about ninety-five percent of the world's rare earth market.In recent years China has cut the rare earth export quotas,Rare earth caused by international prices,Also makes China's trading partners,Such as Japan and the United States,Feel anger.China says,Cut the rare earth export quota purpose is in order to protect the supply,Reduce the damage caused by the mining on the environment.
