"top" in terms of what?  Will any ranking do, or are you looking for
something specific such as volume, weight, or value of product?

I want it by weight.Thank you.

I actually have the figures for the production in the US for 2002 from
C&EN/June 24, 2002. I have however been unable to get information on
the production figures worldwide for comparison.
