Abstract: Beryllium is rich in global natural resources, but with centralized distribution in US.Beryllium also distributed in Brazil, Russia, Kazakhstan, India, China and some African countries, like Madagascar and Mozambique.The global production of beryllium in 2017 is 229 t, US accounts for 74.2%.The main consumer countries are China and US, and US consumed 185 t beryllium in 2017.About the global trade, US used to be the largest supplier and consumer, but the situation has been changed in recent years.In 2016, the main export countries were Madagascar, Switzerland, Ethiopia, Slovakia and Germany; the main import countries were China, Australia, Belgium, Spain and Malaysia.US is preponderant in both resources and techniques.In China, the beryllium grade is generally low and the metallurgy technique is not advanced enough.The production can't meet the demand currently and in the future, so the external dependence is high.Two suggestions are proposed in this paper, the first one is to strengthen the basic principal research and technique innovation, to achieve the breakthrough on both ore prospecting and smelting techniques; the second is to learn the successful experiences from Japan, encouraging Chinese companies to perform oversea investment.To guarantee the oversea supply of beryllium, Chinese companies can participate the investment of shares for Russian and Brazilian companies, and meanwhile obtain African resources by exploration or purchasing.
