Semiconductors have been South Korea's leading export product in recent years,... but with global demand losing steam,... the country's producers are slowingdown production.
According to Statistics Korea on Sunday,... the operating rate of semiconductor factories has been falling for four straight months,... hitting 97-point-one on the index in February.
That's down four-percent on month,... and marks the lowest rate seen in the 43 months since July 2015.
