Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:50:02 +0100 (Reuters) - A worker moves refined tin before shipment, in a warehouse owned by a private company in Pangkalpinang of Indonesia's Bangka Belitung province January 16, 2012. From 2009 until April last year, benchmark prices for tin, mainly used in soldering for electronics, more than tripled to a record high above $33,000 a tonne, which meant hefty profits for the welter of smelters on the Bangka-Belitung islands, the world's largest tin-producing region. Prices, however, came crashing down by mid-2011, and many other facilities in the archipelago off Sumatra island have closed down. Squabbles have also marred efforts to shore up prices through collective action, tarnishing the future of Indonesia's centuries-old tin industry, and its status as the world's top exporter of the metal.
