The largest iron ore producer is in the USA followed by Australia and Brazil and then China.

The USA is the 8th biggest iron ore producing country however China is considered to be the biggest iron ore producer in the world.

The country that has the most Iron Ore in the world is Australia.

Australia has about 930,000 tons of iron ore that they produce each year.

The entire world has around 2,500,000 tons of iron ore that is produced every year and also we recycle a lot of iron and tin.

So the world is in no danger of running out of iron any time soon.

China produces around 350,000 tons of iron ore per year and Brazil produces around 480,000 tons of iron ore per year.

Around 80 million tons of iron are recycled each year in North America alone and in the entire world there's lots more iron being recycled.

Iron can be recycled millions of times without loss of quality.
