This is a list of countries by bauxite production in 2023. There have been some changes from the geographical rankings of 2022. Data ... World: 400,000: 30,000,000
Annual production of bauxite in the United States, 1900-2013. Bauxite mining in the United States produced an estimated 128,000 metric tonnes of bauxite in 2013. [1] Although the United States was an important source of bauxite in the early 20th century, it now supplies less than one percent of world bauxite production.
The social and environmental impacts of bauxite extraction are well documented. Most of the world's bauxite deposits can be found within 1 to 20 metres (3 ft 3 in to 65 ft 7 in) of the earths surface. [21] [22] Strip mining is the most common technique used for extracting shallow bauxite. [22]
