Natural resources, measured
Ordered by the country’s largest How this is computedA country's resources are ordered by its largest share of world output on any production column of each table (e.g. palladium within PGMs).Method →Code →. Values are USGS (minerals) or EIA (energy); an “e” marks a USGS estimate.
