The USGS names only the producers it lists; a nation absent here is not recorded as producing none — any output elsewhere sits inside the published world total. For each producer’s share of world production, and the honest “Rest of world” remainder, see the commodity page.

Press a row — the specimen turns over to its label. Bars are drawn to the highest value. Highest, not best: this page orders figures, it does not grade nations.
