Brazil is the second largest iron ore producer in the world, accounting for 16.7% of global production in 2024. The country’s iron ore production is expected to have increased by 1.9% in 2025 to 437.2Mt. The growth was primarily supported by the strong production from Vale, the country’s largest iron ore producer. Additionally, gradual resumption of pelletizing Plant No. 4 and ramp up of the second concentrator at BHP’s Samarco mine in December 2024 further supported the country’s output.
