Where is ferrosilicon produced

Ferrosilicon (FeSi) is an alloy of iron and silicon, primarily used as a deoxidizer and alloying agent in steel production. It is produced in many countries worldwide, with the largest producers typically being those with abundant electricity (due to the energy-intensive production process) and access to raw materials like quartz (silica) and iron sources (such as scrap iron or iron ore).
