The development of bauxite refineries faces challenges related to technology, substantial capital requirements, and hindered raw material supply due to the location of reserves overlapping with plantations. Currently, only three projects are underway to build refineries that process bauxite into alumina and aluminium, but their development has not yet reached its full potential.",
