Notes of the table

n.d.: Datos no disponibles / Data not available
(1) Las cifras correspondientes al año 2025 son preliminares. / Figures for 2025 are preliminary.
(2) Debido a que la producción de ácido bórico proviene de la producción de ulexita, los montos no son sumables; por lo tanto, la producción de compuestos de boro corresponde a la producción de ulexita. / Since boric acid production is derived from ulexite production, figures are not additive; therefore, boron compounds production corresponds to ulexite production.
