From the latest US geological survey (2010) US production is 1/3 of world production (~200,000 metric tons). World production is ~600,000 metric tons. Jordon is 85,000 metric tons. The total of the three is less than 50 %. Of course the data from the next report (2011) will show that the chinese production has dropped by 30-40 %. Both the chinese and alb need the bromine. Lets hope they make a bid.
