According to a recent report released by the Guinean Ministry of Mines and Geology, Guinea produced 8.5 million tons of bauxite in the first half of this year, down 3.4 per cent from the same period last year; 93400 carats of diamonds were mined in the first half of this year, down nearly 27 per cent from the same period last year; only gold production maintained an upward momentum, with production of 376900 ounces in the first half, up 30 per cent from the same period last year. Analysts said that the decline in mining production in Guinea in the first half of this year was mainly caused by the impact of the Ebola epidemic, in addition to slow reform and difficulties in the world economy.

According to the Guinean Ministry of Finance, only 2761 tons of coffee were produced in Guinea this year, compared with 5796 tons last year. According to the Guinean Ministry of Finance, the main reason for the decline in coffee production is that Ivorian manufacturers are unwilling to sell coffee from three Ebola-affected areas, including Lola, Beira and Kankan.
