Iraq’s oil exports to China totaled 4.84 million tons in September, equivalent to about 1.18 million barrels per day. The reported daily rate was 19 percent lower than in the same month a year earlier. The decline applies specifically to the volume supplied to the Chinese market during September. The available report does not explain whether the drop resulted from weaker demand, production constraints, or changes in trade arrangements. The figures cover one month and therefore do not indicate whether Iraqi shipments to China subsequently recovered. Published by Iraqi News and datelined Baghdad, the report presents the annual comparison without further detail on cargoes or buyers.
