2In addition to the commodities listed, a variety of crude 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.
