Bauxite is the main ore mineral responsible for the production of alumina, and ultimately aluminium. The production of alumina consumes over 90% of global bauxite mined. The remainder is used in the refractory, abrasive and chemical industries. Bauxite is also used in the production of high - alumina cement, as a catalyst in the oil industry, in welding rod coatings, and as a flux in making steel and ferroalloys. Alumina is used to produce aluminium, which has a wide range of uses in the consumer and capital goods markets. Some uses of aluminium include electrical equipment; car, ship, aircraft construction; metallurgical processes; industrial and domestic construction and packaging materials.

SORGHUM PLANT (Good for forage, syrup, grain)

In the United States, most sorghum produced commercially is used as feed. This sorghum is used as feed for beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine, and poultry. Most sorghum is harvested for grain; however, a significant acreage is harvested as silage. Silage (food for animals) is especially used in areas where dairy and beef cattle feed-lots are located. Sorghum is used in many industrial products; even paper products and construction materials, which substitute for lumber products.

 

Sisal harvest  (1 a : a strong durable white fiber used especially for hard fiber cordage and twine -- called also sisal hemp b : a widely cultivated Mexican agave (Agave sisalana) whose leaves yield sisal).
