Countries by Strawberry Production 2024

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by total strawberry production in 2024, measured in millions of metric tons according to FAO data. China dominates global strawberry production with over 3.8 million metric tons annually — more than ten times the output of the United States, the second-largest producer. Chinese strawberry cultivation has expanded dramatically since the 1990s, driven by consumer demand from a growing middle class and the development of intensive greenhouse growing techniques that allow year-round production.

Analysis

The disparity in strawberry production between China and other countries is striking, with China's output of 3.80 million metric tons dwarfing that of the United States, which produced only 1.08 million metric tons. This gap reflects China's advanced agricultural practices and the growing domestic demand for strawberries, spurred by a rising middle class. Meanwhile, countries like Mexico and Egypt, with productions of 0.79 and 0.55 million metric tons respectively, are significantly trailing behind. The trend suggests that as consumer preferences evolve, countries with established agricultural infrastructure and innovative growing techniques, like China, will continue to dominate the market, while others may struggle to keep pace.
