Largest Bauxite-Producing Countries 2023

Guinea's 2023 bauxite haul came out at 123,067,415 tonnes, and that single number basically sets the tone for the whole table. World Mining Data 2025 is where the country-level figures live, and everything below is measured in tonnes of crude ore, so don't mix it up with alumina or primary aluminium. Australia lands next at 99,058,376, then China at 65,516,300, Brazil at 32,032,491, India at 23,360,795, Indonesia at 9,889,569, Russia at 6,867,700, Jamaica at 5,988,100, Saudi Arabia at 5,900,000, Kazakhstan at 4,559,900, Vietnam at 3,800,000, Türkiye at 2,934,790, Sierra Leone at 1,353,708, Greece at 974,938, Ghana at 959,601 and Venezuela at 900,000. Why does any of this matter? Because bauxite gets processed into alumina first, then aluminium, and aluminium quietly ends up in vehicles, buildings, cans and packaging, wiring and electrical gear, plus plenty of factory floors. So the ore is the opening act for a lot of everyday stuff. Add it up and twenty countries handled roughly 99.69% of the bauxite the dataset logged for 2023.
