China is the world’s largest producer of cereals overall. It is the leading producer of rice and wheat, two of the most widely consumed cereals globally. While countries like the USA (maize) and India (rice, wheat) are also major cereal producers, China’s combined production volume across various cereals ranks it as the top producer.
Cereals are staple food crops and include wheat, rice, maize (corn), barley, sorghum, oats, etc. Global agricultural production statistics are compiled by organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
