What the Data Shows
Orange production ranks the largest producing nations for 2024 by production quantity. The graphic uses five nation rows in million tonnes and does not use a world-total denominator. Brazil leads at 15.7M tonnes, ahead of China at 7.62M tonnes. The leader is 4.07x the fifth-ranked producer, India, at 3.85M tonnes.

Data notes & caveats
No world-total denominator is used, so this page reports production quantities only. Small values are plotted in million tonnes while original tonne-scale values remain in row metadata.
Methodology
Rows use the cited production quantities. Tonnes are scaled to million tonnes for plotting, and original tonnes remain in row metadata.
Source consistency notes
Rows use the same crop, production metric, period and unit within each ranking.
