Who supplies the world?

The largest exporter countries of this product.

Ranked by each country’s own reported exports, latest available year (marked when older than 2025). Russia stopped reporting to UN Comtrade after 2021 and is therefore absent here — though it appears with full weight in India’s supplier chart above, which India itself reports.

About this data

Source: UN Comtrade. India’s supplier chart uses India’s reported imports (CIF) by HS 2-digit chapter and partner country. The world chart ranks the 16 largest exporter countries by their own reported exports (FOB) of the chapter. A few country-chapter cells are unavailable on the free API tier and are omitted rather than estimated. Every chart downloads as CSV.
