PARIS, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Eramet's ERMT.PA nickel mining joint venture in Indonesia has received an initial production allowance of 12 million wet metric tons for this year, down from an initial allowance of 32 million it received for 2025, the French mining firm said.

Eramet's PT Weda Bay Nickel joint venture will apply as soon as possible for an upward revision of the volume, it said in a statement, adding that its 2025 allowance had been increased last July to 42 million wet metric tons.

Indonesia, the world's biggest nickel producer, is reportedly reducing its overall nickel mining quotas for this year.
