Iofina plc provided production guidance for first half, second half and full year of 2018. The company expects to produce 575-605 metric tonnes (MT) of crystalline iodine in the full year 2018 from its four currently operating IOsorb® plants. This compares with last year's total production of 503MT. This significant year-on-year increase is a result of the start of IO#7 which is producing at a much greater rate since it opened in mid-February than its predecessor IO#3 with other plants performing as expected. This total also assumes no contribution from IO#5 for 2018. The company expects to produce 260-265 MT in first half and 315-340 MT in second half of its IOflo® crystalline iodine.
