Comoros

2024 Report

Full data release with tables here.

In 2024, Comoros was not a globally significant producer of mineral commodities. Production of mineral commodities represented only a minor part of the economy of Comoros. Comoros produced only small quantities of common building materials such as clay, crushed stone, gravel, and sand for domestic consumption. The legislative framework for the mineral sector in Comoros is provided by the Mineral Substances Regime, Decree-law No. 54/1110 of 1954. The Ministry of Energy, Water, and Hydrocarbons oversees the mineral sector and is responsible for regulating and developing the energy sector. Nearly all of Comoros’ nonfuel mineral and crude petroleum needs were met through imports (African Mining Legislation Atlas, 2024; Banque Centrale des Comores, 2024, p. 25, 26; Banque Centrale des Comores, 2025, p. 4, 9). 

Data on mineral production are in the Production table (formerly table 1). The Facilities table (formerly table 2) is a list of major mineral industry facilities. More-extensive coverage of the mineral industry of Comoros can be found in previous editions of this chapter in the U.S. Geological Survey Minerals Yearbook, volume III, Area Reports—International—Africa and the Middle East, which are available at https://www.usgs.gov/centers/nmic/africa-and-middle-east.
