Largest Tomato Producer In The World

Recently, the FAO updated their numbers on tomato production, and as you might have guessed, in terms of yield, China is the world’s biggest producer of tomatoes, followed by India. Third in line is Turkey. This includes both open field and protected cultivation and production for the fresh and processed market.

However, this has not always been the case: back in 1970, the US was the largest producer, and in 1980, the Soviet Union topped the list.

Please watch the full video below to see how tomato cultivation developed throughout the years, according to the FAO stats.
