About This Dataset

Countries That Grow the Most Grain 2023

Countries ranked by cereal production (million tonnes) in 2023, using World Bank figures for the 101 countries that reported that year. China leads on 641.7, ahead of Russia (136.7) and Indonesia (74.0). Cereal production in tonnes, covering wheat, rice, maize, barley and other grains harvested for dry grain. Crops harvested green for feed or silage are excluded.

Analysis

China (641.7), Russia (136.7) and Indonesia (74.0) take the top three. Across the twenty shown, values run from 641.7 down to 11.2, a spread of 630.5. Most of that spread sits between first and second alone (505.0 of 630.5), so China stands apart from the rest of the table. No other country in the table reaches half the leading figure of 641.7. The chart shows the twenty highest of 101 reporting countries, so it describes the top of the distribution rather than the world average.
