How to read this table
The table rows are categorized by country to allow for a comparison of production scales between Russia and individual European states. Comparing these figures helps to identify the share of Russian production against global leaders and other market participants. Ore weight is indicated in million tonnes, making the data convenient for analyzing large industrial volumes
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: China (1,381), Australia (944), Brazil (448), India (249), Islamic Republic of Iran (109). Gap between highest and lowest — by a factor of 13,810. The top five account for 85% of the total across all items — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual, the dataset contains 7 periods. Of 175 possible values, 144 are filled (82.3%). Some cells are empty — individual items were not observed in every period
