The amount of vegetables as foods for people in each country around the world?

Total

Abstract

Considering the 2021 data on vegetable food production in global agriculture, it is clear that China is the largest producer. China’s vegetable production is 573Mt, which accounts for a significant portion of the world’s total vegetable production. China’s increase in vegetable production can be attributed to its population size and technological innovation in agriculture. Other major vegetable producing countries include India, the United States, Brazil, and some European countries, but China’s production far exceeds theirs. A global trend is that the demand for vegetables is increasing due to people’s increasing health consciousness and changing dietary habits. In addition, concerns about climate change and agricultural sustainability are calling for more efficient production methods and optimal use of resources. In light of these factors, technological innovation in vegetable production and the promotion of sustainable agriculture will be important in the future.

Vegetable foods (around the world)

Considering data from 1961 to 2021, global vegetable food production has experienced significant growth. China’s production in particular has increased at an incredible pace, reaching 573 Mt in 2021. This increase is due to China’s rapid economic development and urbanization. China’s vegetable production peaking can be attributed to efforts to meet the growing food demand for its large population. Meanwhile, vegetable production has also increased in other countries, but not as rapidly as China’s rate of increase. This reflects China’s greater size and efficiency than other countries. This trend is also associated with people’s global demand for health-conscious diets. In addition, agricultural techniques and management practices are improving from a sustainability perspective. In the future, further efficiency and promotion of sustainable agriculture will be required to meet the world’s growing population and changing dietary habits.

China has an overwhelming presence in vegetable food production in world agriculture in 2021. China’s astounding production of 573Mt accounts for the largest share of the total, with an average production of 6.32Mt. From this data, China is a global leader in vegetable production, and its production capacity far exceeds other countries. On the other hand, when considering the average and total production of other countries, China’s presence becomes even more prominent. This is related to China’s large-scale agricultural production system and the achievements of technological innovation. In addition, with the total of the world’s total vegetable production reaching 1.16gt, vegetables play an important role in the world’s food supply. China’s dominance in vegetable production is an important factor in global food security, and China’s agricultural policies and technological innovations will continue to attract attention.

Vegetable Foods (Continent)

According to data from 2021, Asia is the largest producer of vegetable food in global agriculture, with production reaching 876 Mt. This figure is the highest ever, indicating that the Asian region is playing an increasingly important role in vegetable production. The increase in vegetable production in Asia is being made to meet the increasing demand for food due to population growth and economic growth. Populous countries such as China and India in particular play a major role in vegetable production. On the other hand, vegetable production is also increasing in other regions and countries, but the increase rate in the Asian region is remarkable. This indicates that the Asian region has potential productivity in agriculture and that agricultural technology is improving throughout the region. Globally, demand for vegetables is increasing in terms of health-conscious diets and food security, and it is important that the Asian region has the production capacity to meet that demand. In the future, the promotion of sustainable agriculture and technological innovation will be required, and it is expected that the Asian region in particular will demonstrate leadership in this regard.

Vegetable food (latest year, continent)

According to data from 2021, the Asian region is the largest in vegetable food production in global agriculture, with production reaching 876Mt. As the largest overall, the Asian region is playing an increasingly important role in vegetable production. The background to this increase is the increase in food demand due to rapid population growth and economic development in the Asian region. In particular, populous countries such as China and India play a leading role in vegetable production. Meanwhile, vegetable production is also increasing in other regions and countries, with the average global production being 194Mt. This is influenced by advances in agricultural technology and improved productivity around the world. Global vegetable production has reached 1.16gt, indicating that vegetables occupy an important position in the world’s food supply. In the future, it will be important to promote sustainable agriculture and ensure food security. In particular, it is expected that the Asian region will expand its role and demonstrate leadership in global vegetable production.
