Recasts headline and lead
SANTIAGO, Nov 29 (Reuters) -Copper output in the Chile, the world's largest producer of the red metal, increased 6.7% year-on-year in the period to 492,804 metric tons, the country's INE statistics agency said on Friday.
Chile’s state-run copper company Codelco, the world's largest, registered its best production of the year in October, chairman Maximo Pacheco said earlier this month, but he did not give further details.
Codelcohas been struggling to lift output after hitting historic lows in the last two years.

Manufacturing production in Chile was up 3.0% in October from a year earlier, INE said.
