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.

[4] The largest region for sugar beet production is the Red River Valley of western Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. Area planted in the Red River region increased consistently through ...
In 2009, sugar beets accounted for 20% of the world's sugar production [6] and nearly 30% by 2013. [7] Sugarcane accounts for most of the rest of sugar produced globally.
