1. China
Points: 40
Finally, at the top of our list, we find China, a nation that produced 160 million tonnes of fruits and 598 million tonnes of vegetables in 2016.
China exports tonnes of fruits and vegetables. More specifically, when it comes to fruits, China sells grapes, dates, figs, melons, nuts, apples, pears, dried apricots, prunes, apples, peaches and other similar fruits, frozen fruits, coconuts, citrus and more.
In terms of vegetables, China primary export lies in dried vegetables, whether whole, cut, sliced, broken or in powder, followed by onions, shallots, garlic, leeks, cabbages, cauliflowers, carrots, turnips and more, including dried leguminous vegetables, fresh or chilled produce.
It’s important that we manage to keep our changing climate in check unless we want many of our crops and fruits to disappear. Already, many are being affected by extreme weather conditions, higher temperatures and so on. Hopefully, the outputs will continue growing, and we’re not going to start seeing shortages as the population continues growing. This being said, it’s also important that the world starts doing something about all the food that we’re throwing away either because we don’t consume it or because it doesn’t look picture-perfect.
Either way, these have been the 10 largest fruit and vegetable producing countries in the world.
