This graphic ranks the most mining resource-dependent countries in the world, based on 2019–2021 averaged figures from UN Trade and Development.
A country is considered resource dependent when over 60% of its exports are primary commodities. For this graphic we have only included countries where mineral, ores, and metals represent more than 60% of its total exports. Resource dependency can make a country vulnerable to economic shocks via price fluctuations.
