Frequently asked questions

Which country produces the most garlic?

China grew the most garlic in 2024: 21.6 million tonnes, 72.9% of the world’s 29.7 million tonnes. The figures are FAOSTAT’s for 2024.

What are the top 5 garlic producing countries?

China (72.9%), India (10.9%), Egypt (1.9%), Bangladesh (1.8%) and South Korea (1.0%), by tonnes grown in 2024.

Where does the data come from?

From FAOSTAT, the food and farming statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), dataset “Crops and livestock products”, under the CC BY 4.0 licence. It shows the latest year FAO has published, usually two years behind.

Why do some numbers look different from other sources?

Countries report in different ways and FAO fills gaps with its own estimates. Some crops are also grouped: FAO counts mangoes together with guavas and mangosteens, and lemons with limes. The FAOSTAT item name under the map says exactly what is counted.

Why are Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao shown apart from China?

FAOSTAT reports them separately, so the map follows its figures. Borders are simplified and do not imply any view on disputed territory.

Why is a country grey?

FAOSTAT has no production of that crop recorded for it in the latest year. It may grow a little that is not reported.
