1. Australia
Production of iron ore in 2018 (in thousand metric tons): 900,000
Production of iron ore in 2019 (in thousand metric tons): 930,000
Topping the list of the largest iron ore producing countries in the world is Australia, which has more production than the next two countries on this list!
