The countries that produce major iron ore in the world include China, Brazil, Australia, India, Russia, Canada and US. The type of iron ore found in these countries varies from each other. This factor forces or compels countries to import that kind of iron ore which is not found or is short in their country. Likewise they export the type of iron ore which is surplus one.
