Area harvested and yields
The world average yield was 19.82 t/ha in 2024.
- Production, 2014–2024
- +13%
- Harvested area
- +9.9%
- Average yield
- +2.8%
- World area, 2024
- 59.6 million ha
Most of the increase came from a larger harvested area rather than higher yields.

| Bangladesh | 12.2 | −38% |
| Pakistan | 14.9 | −25% |
Among countries with at least 0.5% of world production. Yield = production ÷ harvested area; it depends on climate, varieties, irrigation and how the crop is counted, so it is not a measure of efficiency alone.

Production per person, 2024
World production of vegetables was 145 kg per person in 2024. The highest figures, among countries with at least 1 million inhabitants:
| # | Country | kg per person | Production |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | China | 424 | 601 million t |
| 2 | Albania | 381 | 1.1 million t |
| 3 | North Macedonia | 374 | 682,454 t |
| 4 | Turkey | 330 | 28.9 million t |
| 5 | Uzbekistan | 317 | 11.5 million t |
| 6 | Netherlands | 280 | 5.1 million t |

| 8 | Croatia | 269 | 1.0 million t |
| 9 | Spain | 265 | 12.7 million t |
| 10 | Tunisia | 260 | 3.2 million t |
Production divided by population (FAOSTAT population estimates, 2024). Production per person is not consumption: countries export, import and use crops for feed, processing and industry.

About the data
- Figures are production in tonnes as reported to or estimated by FAO for each calendar year; the latest year is 2024.
- Letters next to a country mark figures that are not official national data: E estimated by FAO, I imputed by FAO (filled in by a statistical model), X taken from an external organisation. Treat them as approximate.
- Shares are relative to the FAO world total; ten-year changes compare 2024 with 2014; yield is production divided by area harvested; average growth per year is the compound annual rate between the two years.
- Country series on Husfarm start in 2000; the world series starts in 1961.
