Barley Production Volume 2017

Mongolia

Mongolia ranked #95 globally in 2017 for Barley Production Volume, producing 1693.6 tonnes. This places Mongolia below many of its regional neighbors, highlighting its limited agricultural output compared to countries with more extensive farming infrastructure. The country's harsh climate and nomadic pastoralist traditions significantly constrain large-scale barley cultivation, impacting its agricultural sector's overall productivity.

Slovakia

In 2017, Slovakia ranked #37 globally in Barley Production Volume with a total of 545,285 tonnes. This volume is notable, especially when compared to its neighbor Hungary, which produces significantly more barley. The country's production is driven by its favorable agricultural climate and a strong emphasis on crop diversification, which supports barley cultivation as a key component of its agricultural sector.

Finland

In 2017, Finland ranked #23 globally in Barley Production Volume, producing 1,460,100 tonnes. This volume positions Finland above many of its European neighbors, reflecting its strong agricultural sector. The country's favorable climate and extensive arable land, particularly in the southern regions, contribute significantly to its barley output, which is primarily used for animal feed and brewing industries.

South Korea

In 2017, South Korea ranked #67 globally in Barley Production Volume, producing 74,853 tonnes. This volume is notably lower than that of neighboring countries like China, which is one of the top producers in the world. The relatively modest barley output in South Korea can be attributed to its focus on high-value crops and limited agricultural land, coupled with changing dietary preferences that favor rice and other staples over barley.

France

In 2017, France achieved a global rank of #2 in barley production volume, with a total of 12086796 tonnes. This significant output positions France just behind Russia, the top producer in the world. The country's favorable climate and extensive agricultural land, particularly in regions like the Hauts-de-France, contribute to its robust barley cultivation, which supports both domestic consumption and the brewing industry.

Kenya

In 2017, Kenya ranked #65 globally in Barley Production Volume, producing 77,000 tonnes. This volume is relatively modest compared to leading barley producers, such as Russia and Germany, which produce millions of tonnes annually.

Factors influencing Kenya's barley production include its favorable climate for agriculture and the government's support for diversifying crop production, particularly in regions like Nakuru and Bomet. Additionally, increased interest in barley from local breweries has stimulated production, enhancing its economic significance.

Denmark

In 2017, Denmark achieved a global rank of #10 in barley production volume, with a total of 3,992,300 tonnes produced. This places Denmark ahead of many European neighbors, highlighting its significant role in the agricultural sector. The country's favorable climate and advanced farming techniques contribute to its high yield, while strong agricultural policies support production efficiency and sustainability.

Mauritania

In 2017, Mauritania ranked #96 globally in barley production volume, with a total of 1456.14 tonnes. This figure is significantly lower than the production levels of neighboring countries, reflecting the country's limited agricultural capacity. Factors such as arid climate conditions and reliance on pastoralism over crop farming contribute to this low output, impacting food security and economic diversification efforts.

Guatemala

In 2017, Guatemala ranked #102 globally in Barley Production Volume, with a total of 18.14 tonnes. This places Guatemala at the bottom of the global rankings, indicating minimal production compared to other countries, particularly in the context of major barley producers like Russia and Germany. The low production volume can be attributed to Guatemala's focus on other crops such as coffee and sugar, along with challenges in agricultural infrastructure and market access.

Belarus

In 2017, Belarus achieved a global rank of #24 in Barley Production Volume, producing 1,419,829 tonnes. This volume places Belarus ahead of many regional competitors, though it lags behind the top producer, Russia. The country's favorable climate and fertile soil contribute significantly to its agricultural output, while state support for the farming sector helps maintain high production levels.
