Wheat Production Volume 2001

Luxembourg

In 2001, Luxembourg ranked #84 globally in Wheat Production Volume, with a total of 54,022 tonnes produced. This volume is notably lower than that of neighboring Belgium, which has a more extensive agricultural sector. The country's limited arable land and its focus on financial services rather than agriculture contribute to its relatively modest wheat output.

India

In 2001, India ranked #2 globally in Wheat Production Volume, producing 69680900 tonnes. This production was significantly higher than that of neighboring Pakistan, which ranked lower in the global wheat output. Key drivers of India's wheat production include its vast arable land, favorable climatic conditions in the northern regions, and government policies that support agricultural growth through subsidies and research initiatives.

Lithuania

In 2001, Lithuania ranked #48 globally in Wheat Production Volume, producing 1,076,300 tonnes. This production level is notable when compared to neighboring Latvia, which produced significantly less wheat during the same period. Lithuania's favorable climate and fertile soil contribute to its agricultural output, alongside a strong emphasis on improving farming techniques and infrastructure in the post-Soviet era.

Cyprus

In 2001, Cyprus ranked #93 globally in Wheat Production Volume with a total of 10,500 tonnes. This production level is modest compared to larger wheat-producing nations, reflecting the island's limited arable land and agricultural capacity. The primary drivers of wheat production in Cyprus include its Mediterranean climate, which supports various crops, and the agricultural policies promoting local farming, although overall production remains constrained by the country's small size and population.

Switzerland

In 2001, Switzerland ranked #56 globally in wheat production volume, with a total of 505600 tonnes. This volume is modest compared to larger agricultural producers, reflecting Switzerland's focus on high-value crops rather than staple grains. The country's mountainous terrain and limited arable land, combined with a strong emphasis on quality over quantity in agriculture, significantly influence its wheat output.

Republic of Moldova

In 2001, the Republic of Moldova achieved a global rank of #45 with a wheat production volume of 1,185,210 tonnes. This production level was significant within the region, especially considering that Moldova's agricultural sector is a crucial part of its economy, often contributing to food security and export revenues. The country's favorable climate and fertile soil, particularly in the central and southern regions, support its capacity for wheat cultivation.

South Africa

In 2001, South Africa ranked #30 globally in wheat production volume, with a total of 2,503,950 tonnes. This production level is notable given that it places South Africa among the top 25% of wheat-producing countries, highlighting its significant agricultural capacity within Africa.

The country's wheat production is largely driven by its diverse climatic conditions and advanced agricultural practices, particularly in the Western Cape region, which benefits from winter rainfall. Additionally, government policies supporting agricultural development have contributed to enhancing productivity in this sector.

Pakistan

In 2001, Pakistan ranked #10 globally in wheat production volume, with a total output of 19,023,700 tonnes. This production level positioned Pakistan as a significant contributor to the global wheat supply, particularly in comparison to neighboring countries like India, which also has a substantial agricultural sector. The country's favorable climate and extensive irrigation systems, particularly in the Indus River basin, play a crucial role in supporting its wheat cultivation, alongside government policies aimed at enhancing agricultural productivity.

Tajikistan

Tajikistan ranked #59 globally in 2001 for Wheat Production Volume, with a total output of 387314 tonnes. This production level is modest compared to leading wheat producers, reflecting the challenges faced by the country in agricultural output. Key factors influencing this statistic include Tajikistan's mountainous terrain, which limits arable land, and its reliance on irrigation from rivers, which can be affected by climate variability.

Angola

In 2001, Angola ranked #104 globally in wheat production volume, with a total output of 4000 tonnes. This figure is significantly lower than that of regional leaders, reflecting the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in Angola. Factors such as a lack of infrastructure, ongoing economic instability, and limited access to modern farming techniques have hindered the country's agricultural productivity.
