SANTIAGO, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Chile's copper output fell 8.9 percent in December and 4.2 percent for the Jan-December period as the world's biggest copper producer saw ore grade fall at its biggest mines and amid some supply disruptions, the National Statistics Institute (INE) said on Friday.

Copper output in December was 484,798 tonnes. From January through December 2008, Chile churned out 5,364,159 tonnes.

In November, Chile's copper output tumbled 6.4 percent after a 7.0 percent slide in October.
