Abstract
Cucumber production has seen significant growth over the years, with China consistently leading the global market. In 2022, China’s production reached 77.3 million tons, accounting for a substantial majority of the world’s supply. This dominance can be attributed to China’s vast agricultural resources, favorable climates, and advanced farming techniques. Other major producers include Turkey, India, and Iran, but their volumes pale in comparison to China.Globally, cucumber production trends reflect increasing consumer demand for fresh vegetables, driven by health awareness and culinary versatility. Sustainable farming practices are becoming more prominent, with many countries investing in organic cultivation. Additionally, advancements in greenhouse technology and crop management are enhancing yield efficiency, allowing for better quality and consistency in supply. As cucumber remains a staple in salads, pickles, and various cuisines, its production is poised to grow further in response to global dietary shifts.
