ECONOMY: INDUSTRY AND MINERAL RESOURCES

Industrial activities, also limited due to insufficient production of electricity (almost 2000 million kWh are produced annually (2016 figure), mostly supplied by the Brokopondo water plant), are mainly aimed at the processing of agricultural and forestry products.; therefore there are sugar refineries, rice mills, oil mills, fish processing companies, tobacco factories, breweries, alcohol distilleries (mainly rum), wood processing companies (in Bruynzeel); to these are added some cement factories, the plants for the reduction of bauxite in Moengo, Onverwacht, Bruynzeel and Paranam, and finally the complex for the production of aluminum, also located in Paranam (one of the most important in South America, the main industrial center of the country, which contributed to the construction of the Brokopondo dam). § The country’s economy, however, is based on bauxite, of which it is one of the world’s largest producers, which with its derivatives (alumina and aluminum) makes up 70% of the total value of exports; almost 5 million tons of ore are extracted annually; however, the companies present believe that before 2015 the fields may run out. Mineral resources include manganese, copper, nickel, platinum, gold (in the alluvial deposits of Saramacca and Lawa); in 1981 the Gulf Oil Corporation discovered oil sands in the Saramacca district and in Tambaredjo and the following year underwater exploration began; in 2006, more than half a million tonnes of crude oil were extracted. Overall, the sector absorbs more than 22% of the active population (also considering the tertiary sector), contributing 42.7% to the formation of national wealth.
