    World rice production hit nearly 780 million tonnes in 2022, making it
    the fourth-most produced cereal grain after wheat, corn, and sugarcane.

    This graphic breaks down the worldโ€™s largest producers of rice in 2022,
    based on data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (UN FAO).

    Rice, Rice, Baby
    The worldโ€™s most populous countries, China and India, top the list of
    largest rice producers, each with around 200 million tonnes.

    In fact, these two countries together grow more rice than the rest of
    the world combined. India is also the worldโ€™s largest rice exporter, accounting for one-third of rice exports by itself.

    Noticeably, the majority of the worldโ€™s rice production is in Asia. This
    is due to a combination of climatic, geographic, cultural, and economic factors.

    For example, rice requires a warm, humid climate (found throughout
    Asia), and is also a staple food in the Asian diet.

    Brazil, ranked 11th with 11 million tonnes, is the only non-Asian
    country on this list. The Portuguese brought rice to the region in the
    16th century, and since then, it has flourished in the warm, humid
    climate, becoming a diet staple. The Amazon region of the country also
    has two native rice species.

    Also missing from this list is the U.S., which exports half of its total
    rice production (5 million tonnes) making it the fifth largest
    rice-exporter in the world.
