About This Dataset
Countries by Soybean Production 2024
Countries ranked by total soybean production in 2024, measured in millions of metric tons according to USDA data. Brazil surpassed the United States as the world's largest soybean producer for the first time in 2012 and has expanded its lead substantially since — driven by the rapid agricultural development of the Cerrado savanna region, where frontier farming has converted vast areas into highly productive soy cultivation, making Brazil the world's single most important supplier of plant protein to global livestock industries.
