1. Raw Material Sources & Import Countries

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Raw Material Sources: Countries or regions where essential raw materials are extracted or imported for industrial processes, such as iron ore, coke, and limestone.
  • Import Countries: Nations that do not produce sufficient raw materials domestically and rely on importing from other countries.
  • Iron Ore: A mineral from which iron is extracted; major sources include Russia, Brazil, and Sweden.
  • Coke: A carbon-rich material derived from coal, used as a reducing agent in steelmaking.
  • Limestone: A sedimentary rock used to remove impurities during steel production.
