Japan's Sojitz to import rare-earth yttrium from Malaysia, cutting reliance on China

جاپان کی سوجٹز ملائیشیا سے نایاب دھات یٹریم درآمد کرے گی، چین پر انحصار کم ہوگا

जापान की सोजिट्ज़ मलेशिया से दुर्लभ धातु यट्रियम आयात करेगी, चीन पर निर्भरता घटेगी

Japan's Sojitz to import rare-earth yttrium from Malaysia, cutting reliance on China

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Japanese trading house Sojitz will start buying yttrium, a rare-earth element used in semiconductor-making machinery, from Malaysia as early as 2027, as it looks to diversify supplies away from China.
  • Its president, Kosuke Uemura, said a processing plant expansion in Malaysia led by Australian partner Lynas Rare Earths is making progress, and supplies could begin next year or later.
  • Sojitz has worked with Lynas since October 2025 to obtain rare earths such as terbium.
  • جاپانی تجارتی کمپنی سوجٹز 2027 کے اوائل سے ہی ملائیشیا سے یٹریم خریدنا شروع کرے گی۔ یٹریم ایک نایاب دھات ہے جو سیمی کنڈکٹر بنانے والی مشینوں میں استعمال ہوتی ہے، اور اس اقدام کا مقصد چین پر انحصار کم کرنا ہے۔ کمپنی کے صدر کوسوکے اویمورا نے کہا کہ ملائیشیا میں آسٹریلوی شراکت دار لائناس کی قیادت میں پروسیسنگ پلانٹ کی توسیع آگے بڑھ رہی ہے، اور فراہمی اگلے سال یا اس کے بعد شروع ہو سکتی ہے۔ سوجٹز اکتوبر 2025 سے لائناس کے ساتھ ٹربیم جیسی نایاب دھاتیں حاصل کر رہی ہے۔ یہ قدم اس لیے اہم ہے کہ چین کی جاپان کو یٹریم آکسائیڈ کی برآمدات جون میں صفر ہو گئیں، جس سے ظاہر ہوتا ہے کہ جاپان کی چپ سپلائی چین ایک ہی ذریعے پر کتنی منحصر ہے۔
  • जापानी व्यापारिक कंपनी सोजिट्ज़ 2027 की शुरुआत से ही मलेशिया से यट्रियम खरीदना शुरू करेगी। यट्रियम एक दुर्लभ धातु है जो सेमीकंडक्टर बनाने वाली मशीनों में इस्तेमाल होती है, और इस कदम का मकसद चीन पर निर्भरता कम करना है। कंपनी के अध्यक्ष कोसुके उएमुरा ने कहा कि मलेशिया में ऑस्ट्रेलियाई साझेदार लाइनास के नेतृत्व में प्रसंस्करण संयंत्र का विस्तार आगे बढ़ रहा है, और आपूर्ति अगले साल या उसके बाद शुरू हो सकती है। सोजिट्ज़ अक्टूबर 2025 से लाइनास के साथ टर्बियम जैसी दुर्लभ धातुएँ हासिल कर रही है। यह कदम इसलिए अहम है कि चीन से जापान को यट्रियम ऑक्साइड का निर्यात जून में शून्य हो गया, जिससे पता चलता है कि जापान की चिप आपूर्ति शृंखला एक ही स्रोत पर कितनी निर्भर है।

Japanese trading house Sojitz will start buying yttrium, a rare-earth element used in semiconductor-making machinery, from Malaysia as early as 2027, as it looks to diversify supplies away from China. Its president, Kosuke Uemura, said a processing plant expansion in Malaysia led by Australian partner Lynas Rare Earths is making progress, and supplies could begin next year or later. Sojitz has worked with Lynas since October 2025 to obtain rare earths such as terbium. The move matters because China's yttrium oxide exports to Japan fell to zero in June, showing how exposed Japan's chip supply chain is to a single source.
