Brazil Leads Global Orange Production with 16.9 Mt

Abstract

In global orange production, based on data for 2022, it is clear that Brazil is the largest producer. Brazil’s production volume has reached 16.9 megatons, establishing its position. This advantage is likely due to Brazil’s climatic conditions and land suitability, as well as proactive agricultural policies and technological innovation. On the other hand, other major producers include China and India. These countries also play an important role in orange production, but they are not as large as Brazil. In the global orange market, factors such as increasing demand and climate change are affecting production volume, and these factors may continue to change the position and volume of producing countries. As a result, the importance of sustainable agriculture is increasing, and producing countries will need to work not only to increase production volume, but also to be environmentally conscious and improve efficiency.

Orange production (worldwide)

Global orange production has undergone diverse changes over the past 60 years. Brazil, in particular, boasted a peak production of 23 megatons in 1997, but production has declined in the following decades, dropping to 73.5% in 2022. This decline is due to a variety of factors. First, changes in agricultural land and land use in Brazil are affecting production. With the progress of urbanization and industrialization, the reduction in agricultural land and reduced investment in agriculture are affecting production. Climate change and environmental issues are also affecting production. Natural disasters and changes in temperature affect orange growth and cause fluctuations in yields. In addition, changes in the economy and market are also important. Changes in global demand and fluctuations in international trade directly affect the production volume of producing countries. Considering these factors, sustainable agriculture will become increasingly important, and producing countries will need to focus on environmental considerations and improving efficiency.

The maximum is 23Mt[1997] of Brazil, and the current value is about 73.5%

Orange production (latest year, world)

Global orange production remains the largest in 2022, with Brazil recording 16.9 megatons. This is equivalent to approximately 22.1% of the total global production. In addition, the average orange production was 553 kilotons, bringing the total global production to 76.4 megatons. The trend so far has been that Brazil maintains its leading position in orange production. Brazil’s climatic conditions and development of agricultural technology allow for abundant harvests. On the other hand, other major producing countries include Spain, the United States, and China. These countries also play an important role in orange production, but not on the same scale as Brazil. Although various factors affect production, such as fluctuations in demand and the effects of climatic conditions, oranges are a globally important fruit and their production plays an important role in the agricultural economy. In the future, the promotion of sustainable agriculture and technological innovation will be essential to increasing orange production and quality.

The maximum is 16.9Mt of Brazil, the average is 557kt, and the total is 76.3Mt

Orange production (continent)

Asia was the largest producer of oranges in the world in 2022, recording 29.5 megatons. This is the largest production volume ever, indicating that Asia is playing an increasingly important role in orange production. As a trend to date, agricultural development and technological innovation in Asia have increased orange production. Large countries such as China and India in particular have contributed to the increase in production. Changes in climatic conditions and land use in Asia are also affecting production. On the other hand, while other major producing regions include Brazil in South America and some parts of Africa, Asia’s production is growing rapidly. This is seen as a result of the increase in food demand due to population and economic growth in Asian countries. Orange production in Asia is expected to continue to increase in the future, but the promotion of sustainable agriculture is essential to address challenges such as climate change and environmental issues.

The maximum is 29.5Mt[2021] of Asia, and the current value is about 99.6%

Orange production (latest year, continent)

Asia became the largest producing region in world orange production in 2022, recording 29.4 megatons. This is the largest production ever, indicating that orange production in Asia is expanding rapidly. One factor contributing to this trend is that Asian countries such as China and India are experiencing increasing food demand along with their economic growth. Meanwhile, Brazil in South America continues to attract attention as another major producing region. Brazil was once the largest producer and continues to play an important role, but its position is being shaken as Asian production increases. Global orange production is 76.4 megatons, with an average of 12.7 megatons. This figure indicates that oranges are a globally important fruit and are cultivated in many countries. Orange production is expected to continue to expand, mainly in Asia, but addressing climate change and environmental issues will be a challenge. Promoting sustainable agriculture is necessary.

The maximum is 29.4Mt of Asia, the average is 12.7Mt, and the total is 76.4Mt
