A map of worldwide wheat production in 2000 Wheat is one of the most widely produced primary crops in the world.. The following international wheat production statistics come from the Food and Agriculture Organization figures from FAOSTAT database, older from International Grains Council figures from the report "Grain Market Report".
Along with climate and corresponding types of vegetation, the economy of a nation also influences the level of agricultural production. Production of some products is highly concentrated in a few countries, China, the leading producer of wheat and ramie in 2013, produces 95% of the world's ramie fiber but only 17% of the world's wheat. Products ...
Wheat yields in least developed countries since 1961. In Pakistan, wheat yields nearly doubled, from 4.6 million tons in 1965 to 7.3 million tons in 1970; Pakistan was self-sufficient in wheat production by 1968. [citation needed] Yields were over 21 million tons by 2000. In India, yields increased from 12.3 million tons in 1965 to 20.1 million ...
Efforts to expand wheat production in South Africa, Kenya and India were stymied by low yields and disease. However, by 2000 India had become the second largest producer of wheat in the world. [117] In the 19th century the American wheat frontier moved rapidly westward. By the 1880s 70% of American exports went to British ports.
This is a list of countries by cereal production in 2023 based on the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database. The total world cereal production for 2023 was over three billion metric tons. The per-capita world cereal production for that year was about or nearly 400 kilograms per person. [citation needed]
Wheat yields in least developed countries since 1961, in kilograms per hectare. By one 2021 estimate, the Green Revolution increased yields by 44% between 1965 and 2010. [13] Cereal production more than doubled in developing nations between the years 1961–1985. [81] Yields of rice, corn, and wheat increased steadily during that period. [81]
Wheat which is grown in area of 4,000 hectares (9,900 acres) in the highlands accounts for 50% of the total area under cultivation of wheat in the country. However, its yield has been generally low, of the order of 850 kilograms (1,870 lb)/ha necessitating adoption of better land use practices of terracing in the highlands and also better crop ...
Wheat yields in least developed countries since 1961. The steep rise in crop yields in the U.S. began in the 1940s. The percentage of growth was fastest in the early rapid growth stage. In developing countries maize yields are still rapidly rising. [6] Productivity is driven by changes in either agricultural technique or improvements in technology.
