construction materials (sand and gravel and stone) was produced, but output
was |
not
reported, and available information was inadequate to make estimates of
output. |
3Includes white cement production, in thousand metric tons: 1999--192; 2000--250; 2001--247;
2002--259; and 2003--292. |
4Does not include phosphatic gypsum (waste product) generated
