¹World totals and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
²Includes data available through December 23, 2015.
³In addition to the countries listed, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, North Korea, the Republic of Korea, and countries of the Commonwealth-
of Independent States may produce monazite, but available information is inadequate for formulation of reliable estimates of ouput levels.
⁴Reported production was derived from stockpiled mineral concentrates.
⁵Chinese imports from Vietnam.
⁶Estimated figure based on Vietnam-s inferred exports of titanium ores to China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea.
