Global boron reserves 2023, by major countries

Turkey had the largest reserves of boron globally in 2023, with reserves estimated to amount to 950 million metric tons of refined borates. The United States had the second-largest boron reserves at that time, amounting to an estimated 48 million metric tons. Boron is a naturally abundant mineral with many uses from health to sciences. Boron overviewBoron is a chemical compound that can be used as a rocket fuel ignitor, in medicines, food, household chemicals, manufacturing, and in the regulation of nuclear reactors. Boron is not toxic to humans and is necessary for the cellular structure of plants. When used in large concentrations, boron compounds function as herbicides, algaecides, and other pesticides. The leading producers of boron worldwide include Turkey, China, and Chile.
