Share of world production, 2025. Countries with no reported production are unshaded.
Israel's largest commodity exports by value. Each bar's share is that commodity's share of world trade in it, not its share of Israel's own exports — the two are unrelated and shown so a bar near 100% marks a commodity Israel dominates globally rather than one it merely exports a lot of.
Unlike the chart above, this treemap sizes each commodity by its share of Israel's own $2.4 billion of tracked exports, not by world trade. Potash alone is 41% of it. See the full export dependency report for how Israel compares with other countries.
Uranium: #6, <0.1% of world imports, $37,000 (2024)
