How to read this table
Comparisons between countries help assess Russia's position in the global mineral market. By comparing figures for Austria or Germany, the differences in raw material production volumes become apparent. The total volume is measured in million tonnes of ore, providing a uniform scale for all listed countries
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: China (1,381), Australia (953), Brazil (420), India (278), Islamic Republic of Iran (109). Gap between highest and lowest — by a factor of 13,810. The top five account for 85.1% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; total periods 7. 145 of 175 possible values filled (82.9%). Gaps exist but are isolated: for some positions observations were not always conducted

Period and application
Statistical data on ore production is updated annually. Information for the period from 2010 to 2023 is intended for mining industry specialists, commodity market analysts, and economists studying the industrial potential of various countries
How it is calculated
Rosstat notes: From 2010 — iron ore concentrate. 2024 — 90.4 million t. From 2016 — change in accounting methodology
1) С 2010 г. – концентрат железорудный. 2024 г. – 90,4 млн т.
2) С 2016 г. изменение методологии учета.
3) Поставки.
