Abstract
According to the latest 2022 data on land use for lentils, Canada has the largest area in the world, reaching 1.72 Mha. This shows that Canada is the leading producer of lentils. Meanwhile, other countries are also actively cultivating lentils, reflecting their growing demand. As a global trend, lentil demand is expanding due to the increasing health consciousness and the spread of plant-based diets. In addition, lentils are relatively durable compared to other crops due to the growing interest in climate change and sustainability, which also contributes to the increase in demand. Considering these factors, the production area of lentils is likely to expand further in the future.
Lentil land use (Worldwide)
The data on land use for lentils reveals some interesting features and trends. Looking at data from 1961 to 2022, the area cultivated with lentils fluctuates, but reached a peak of 2.22 Mha in Canada in 2016. The area cultivated in Canada has since declined and is now at 77.2%. This indicates that the area cultivated with lentils in Canada has declined significantly since its peak. There are several possible factors behind this decline. For example, changes in agricultural policies, fluctuations in market demand, and the influence of climatic conditions. On the other hand, the area cultivated with lentils may be increasing in other countries. Another factor may be the growing demand for lentils due to an increased health consciousness and interest in sustainability. In the future, it will be interesting to understand the changes in the cultivated area of lentils and global demand, and to consider them as factors that will influence agricultural policies and producer strategies.
The maximum is 3.19Mt[2016] of Canada, and the current value is about 72%
Lentil land use (latest year, world)
Considering the data on land use for lentils in 2022, the total cultivated area worldwide has reached 5.5 Mha. Of these, Canada accounts for the largest share of 1.72 Mha, while the average for other countries is 120 kha. This shows that Canada is the leading producer of lentils globally. As a general trend, lentil cultivation is seen all over the world, but the production volume and cultivated area vary greatly from country to country. Increasing demand and the influence of climatic conditions may affect the amount of lentil cultivation in each country. Another factor is that demand for lentils is expanding due to increased health consciousness and the spread of plant-based diets. It is important to continue to track changes in lentil production and demand while keeping a close eye on agricultural policies and market trends in countries around the world.
The maximum is 2.3Mt of Canada, the average is 145kt, and the total is 6.66Mt
Lentil Land Use (Continent)
Looking at the land use data for lentils in 2022, the Asian region recorded the largest cultivated area worldwide, which is the current maximum value. This indicates that Asia is the major producer of lentils. Lentils are deeply rooted in Asian food culture and are consumed as an important food in many countries. Lentils are widely cultivated and used as a major source of protein in the diet, especially in India and surrounding areas. In addition, lentil production is likely to be thriving in the Asian region due to its high population density and large food demand. In addition, lentils are highly nutritious, and the increasing demand due to the spread of plant-based diets may also be affecting the increase in cultivated area in Asia. Lentil production in the Asian region is likely to expand further in the future, and changes in agricultural policies and climatic conditions will affect its direction.
The maximum is 3.78Mt[2016] of North America, and the current value is about 67.8%
Lentil land use (latest year, continental)
Looking at the land use data for lentils in 2022, the Asian region recorded the largest cultivation area worldwide, at 2.54 Mha. This indicates that Asia is the main producer of lentils. Lentils have been cultivated in the Asian region for a long time and are consumed as a staple food in many countries. In particular, lentils are widely used as an important source of protein in India and surrounding areas. The average cultivation area of 917 kha indicates that lentil cultivation is active throughout Asia. In addition, the global cultivation area of 5.5 Mha indicates that the demand for lentils is expanding globally. This is due to the increasing health consciousness and the spread of plant-based diets, and reflects the fact that lentils are attracting attention as a nutritious and sustainable food source. It is expected that lentil production will continue to expand, mainly in the Asian region, and agricultural production to meet demand will be maintained.
The maximum is 2.6Mt of Asia, the average is 1.11Mt, and the total is 6.66Mt
