About This Dataset
Countries by Banana Production 2025
Countries ranked by total banana and plantain production in 2025, measured in million metric tonnes according to FAO FAOSTAT crop production statistics. India is the world's largest banana producer — growing the fruit primarily in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Maharashtra for domestic consumption rather than export, which distinguishes it from Ecuador and the Philippines whose production is heavily export-oriented. Indian banana cultivation is dominated by small and medium-scale farmers growing dozens of distinct varieties suited to local culinary traditions, including the Robusta, Grand Naine, Nendran, and Red Banana varieties that are eaten fresh, cooked, dried, and processed into chips — a diversity of end uses that contrasts with the export industry's dependence on the single Cavendish variety that fills supermarkets worldwide.
