Namibia, which is fifth largest uranium producer in the world, with a total output of 3,000 metric tons of uranium in 2015, is expected to significantly increase the uranium production in the following years. According to government officials, new mining operations in Husab mine, which are run by China General Nuclear Power Holding Corp, should triple uranium output by 2017. Husab mine could produce 15 million of pounds of uranium which would allow Namibia to overtake Niger and Australia in terms of the commodity production. Last year the country exported $416,992 uranium, which was a 34% decrease compared to previous years. The leading importers of uranium from Namibia are the US, Canada, China, and France.
