MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Shipments of unwrought aluminum from Russia to Brazil more than doubled year-on-year in January-October 2026, according to data from the Brazilian statistical agency seen by Sputnik. From January to October, Brazil imported $61.2 million worth of unwrought aluminum from Russia. This figure is about 140% higher than the total for the first ten months of last year and 80% more than the total for the entire year of 2025. However, the volume of shipments saw a notable decline in October, more than halving month-on-month and decreasing by 30% year-on-year, to $4.4 million. As a result, Russia fell from second to third place among the primary suppliers of unwrought aluminum to Brazil for the month. The top five suppliers also included Argentina ($35.6 million), India ($5.4 million), Spain ($2.6 million), and Bahrain ($813,200). Brazil’s total imports for the month amounted to $49.8 million, down from $68.7 million in September.
