Last month authorities in China's Yunnan province had announced the average monthly output of local silicon companies should not exceed 10 per cent of the August output from&nbsp;September to December period leading&nbsp; which has affected&nbsp;several industries linked to the product.

The move was announced by authorities due to power shortage in China. Reports say&nbsp;silicon production is expected to be 52 per cent less this year due to lower production.
