Mineral exports — what leaves the country

Mineral export value and volume by country and commodity, distinct from production, from central-bank and EITI primary sources. Read live from /api/v1/mineral-exports.json. The period is on every row because many central-bank figures are a single month or quarter, not a full year.

Jurisdiction interest disclosure.

Afrimintel's Editor-in-Chief holds two positions in the Great Lakes region: Honorary Consul of Rwanda in Mauritius, and Chairman of MUA Insurance Rwanda. Neither role involves mining, mineral assets, or any company appearing in this layer, and neither carries any interest in the outcome of any record in it. They are disclosed here because this layer carries records on jurisdictions to which those positions relate, which makes them material to a reader assessing those records. Coverage and treatment of these jurisdictions are on the same terms as every other jurisdiction; the positions constrain who Afrimintel transacts with, not what it publishes. See /methodology/independence/ §7. Independence Policy §7.

Mineral export value and volume by country and commodity — rendered at build time from /api/v1/mineral-exports.json (dataset v2.137.63, as of 2026-08-18). Every figure carries the state, source and date the feed carries. This static table is replaced by the interactive one when scripts run.
