Overview of the data behind this chart

China produces over a quarter of the world's onions — a figure that reflects the central role of the bulb in Chinese cuisine and the efficiency of specialised growing regions in Shandong and Gansu provinces where smallholder farmers have concentrated on onion monoculture for decades, supplying both the domestic market and Asian export trade.
