Peru: change in copper mine production 2020-2021, by company

In 2020, copper mine production in Peru decreased by around 12 percent in comparison to the previous year. In September, Antamina, one of the largest copper producing companies in the country, registered a year-over-year decrease of 28 percent in production. Combined with Las Bambas, these companies accounted for more than 30 percent of copper production in Peru in 2020. Since February 2021, the main copper mines in Peru reported a growth in output, when compared to a year earlier.
Quarantine measures against the spread of COVID-19 in Peru were put in place in mid-March, leading the majority of mining companies to suspend operations, maintaining only critical activities.
