1. China

Production of rare earth metals in 2018 (in metric tons): 120,000

Production of rare earth metals in 2019 (in metric tons): 132,000

China tops the list of 10 top countries for rare earth metals production and it isn’t even close. In fact, the other 9 combined don’t even come nowhere near the production behemoth that is China. China is slowly but surely going to take over the world, one mineral (or seventeen in this case) at a time.
