Abstract
The latest data on bean production (2022) shows that China is the largest producer with 1.71 million tonnes. Looking at historical trends, global bean production is concentrated primarily in Asia, particularly China and India, which account for the majority of the market. Beans are highly nutritious and are one of the important agricultural crops. China has expanded production by taking advantage of its vast farmland and favorable climatic conditions. On the other hand, South American countries (Brazil, Argentina, etc.) are also known as major bean producing countries, but their relative position may be changing due to China’s rapid growth. Bean production is greatly affected by the climate and soil conditions of each region, so attention is focused on how future climate change and advances in agricultural technology will affect production volumes.
Bean production (worldwide)
Based on data from 1961 to 2022, the world production of beans has undergone significant changes. In particular, China recorded a peak of 4.4 million tons in 1962, accounting for the majority of world production. However, China’s production has fallen to 38.9% of its peak in recent years. The decline is thought to be due to changes in agricultural policies, the advancement of urbanization, and changes in land use. Meanwhile, other producing countries, especially in South America and Africa, are increasing their production and these regions are playing an important role in the global bean market. Brazil and India in particular are contributing to increased production, which is affecting the global supply balance. Looking ahead, attention will be focused on the impact of climate change and technological innovation on production volume.
The maximum is 4.4Mt[1962] of China, and the current value is about 38.9%
Bean production (latest year, world wide)
Analysis of the latest data on bean production (2022), with global production reaching 6.14 million tons, reveals some trends and characteristics over time. China remains the largest producer with 1.71 million tonnes, a significant portion of the world’s total production. However, the average production volume was only 89,000 tons, indicating that China’s share of total production is high. Comparing with historical data, bean production is distributed across Asia, South America and Africa, with China and Brazil holding large shares. Although overall production volume has been increasing since its peak in the 1960s, the production balance by region has been changing. While production is increasing in South American countries and India, China’s production has fallen to less than half of its peak. Factors driving this change include advances in agricultural technology, changes in land use, and climate change. Going forward, bean production will likely continue to be influenced by these factors and reflect the balance of global supply and demand.
The maximum is 1.71Mt of China, the average is 89kt, and the total is 6.14Mt
Seed production (worldwide)
The latest data on seed production (2022) shows that Canada is the largest producer with 301 thousand tonnes, the highest figure ever. Canada plays an important role in seed production, taking advantage of its vast farmland and advanced agricultural techniques. Historically, seed production has been primarily distributed across North America, South America and Asia, with Canada and the United States being major producers. The increase in seed production in Canada is due to adaptation to climatic conditions, improved varieties and improved agricultural techniques, which have all contributed to increased productivity. South American countries (such as Brazil and Argentina) also play an important role in seed production, and production in these regions is also increasing. In the past, seed production was highly dependent on local climate and soil conditions, but in recent years technological advances and the development of global supply chains have helped to bring production into balance. Future developments to watch will be the impact of climate change and changes in agricultural policies on seed production.
The maximum is 301kt[2004] of Canada, and the current value is about 53%
Seed production (latest year, by country)
Data on seed production in 2022 shows that overall production will be 246 thousand tons, with Canada being the largest producer with 159 thousand tons. Canada dominates seed production, and these figures are notable when compared to other countries. The overall average production was 27.3 thousand tons, showing that Canadian production had a significant impact on the overall production. Historically, seed production has been primarily in North and South America and Asia, with Canada and the United States being major producers. Canada’s increased seed production is due to its vast farmland, favorable climatic conditions and advances in agricultural technology, making it a leading international seed supplier. South American and Asian countries also contribute seed production, but not on the same scale as Canada. Canada’s dominant production demonstrates the country’s technological and market competitive strength in the seed industry, a trend that is expected to continue in the future. Seed production is affected by climate change, changes in agricultural policies, and technological innovations, so it will be interesting to see how these factors affect future production volumes.
The maximum is 159kt of Canada, the average is 27.3kt, and the total is 246kt
