Abstract
Tomatoes are a globally important agricultural crop, with China being the largest producer. China produced 68.3 Mt in 2022, accounting for approximately 30% of global tomato production. Meanwhile, other major producers include India, Turkey, and the United States, which also produce large amounts of tomatoes. Tomatoes are widely used in processed products and fresh markets and occupy an important position in the food industry around the world. Fluctuations in production volume are influenced by climatic conditions, advances in agricultural technology, and changes in market demand. Trends so far have shown that production is increasing, mainly in China, while other countries are also expanding production. As demand for processed uses and fresh consumption increases, countries are working to expand production and improve quality. Global demand for tomatoes is expected to continue to grow, and it is important for producing countries to focus on developing sustainable agricultural practices and market strategies to meet the demand.
Tomato production (worldwide)
Tomato production has grown significantly over the past 60 years, with China’s record 68.3 Mt in 2022 being a prime example. China has doubled production since its peak, and this increase is supported by growing global demand and improved domestic agricultural techniques. During this time, tomato cultivation techniques and breeding have progressed, creating efficient agricultural systems. Major producers other than China have also shown an upward trend, which can be attributed to increased demand in the global market. Tomatoes occupy an important position in processed and fresh markets, influencing the food industry around the world. The increase in production is in response to growing demand, which is expected to continue. To respond, countries need to focus on adopting sustainable agricultural practices and improving market strategies.

Tomato production (latest year, world)
Tomato production is stable worldwide, with China remaining the largest producer in 2022. China’s production is 68.3 Mt, accounting for about 37% of the total. Meanwhile, the average production of tomatoes is 1.09 Mt, which indicates the general level of tomato cultivation around the world. The total production reaches 186 Mt, which speaks to the importance and high demand of tomatoes. Tomatoes are widely used in processed foods and fresh markets, and occupy an essential position in the food industry around the world. Over the past few decades, tomato production techniques and breeding have evolved, and efficient agricultural systems have been established. This trend is also influenced by increasing demand and changing food culture, and it will be important to continue to adjust production volume according to demand and adopt sustainable agricultural methods.
The maximum is 2.3Mt of Canada, the average is 145kt, and the total is 6.66Mt
Tomato production (continent)
Asia will be the world’s largest producer of tomatoes in 2022 at 119 Mt, a new record high. Tomato production in Asia has been steadily increasing over the past few decades, driven by advances in agricultural technology and growing demand. Asia has diverse climatic conditions and vast farmland, which provide suitable conditions for tomato production. In addition, the increase in food demand due to population and economic growth is also driving the expansion of tomato production. Outside of Asia, tomato production is also on the rise, indicating ongoing efforts to meet growing global demand. Tomatoes are widely used in processed and fresh markets and occupy an important position in the food industry around the world. As demand is expected to continue to increase, it is necessary to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and improve market strategies.
The maximum is 3.78Mt[2016] of North America, and the current value is about 67.8%
Tomato production (latest year, continent)
Asia recorded the largest overall tomato production in 2022 at 119 Mt. This reflects past trends and highlights Asia as a major tomato producing region. In Asia, diverse climatic conditions and vast farmland are suitable for growing tomatoes, and advances in agricultural technology in the region are contributing to increased production. Meanwhile, tomato production is also thriving in Africa, Europe, the Americas, and other regions, in response to growing global demand. Tomatoes are widely used in processed and fresh markets, and production is increasing as demand expands. This growth is supported by advances in agricultural technology, the spread of sustainable agricultural practices, and market maturity. As demand is expected to continue to increase, agricultural producers around the world are required to focus on improving quality and efficiency and work to build sustainable agricultural systems.
The maximum is 2.6Mt of Asia, the average is 1.11Mt, and the total is 6.66Mt
