¹World totals, U.S. data, and estimated data have been rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.�
²Table includes data available through June 18, 2007.
³Reported figure.
⁴May include nitrogen content of urea.
⁵Data are for years beginning April 1 of that stated.
⁶In June 2006, Montenegro and Serbia formally declared independence from each other and dissolved their union. Mineral production
data for 2006, however, still reflect the unified country.
⁷Synthetic anhydrous ammonia; excludes coke oven byproduct ammonia.
