Wheat is a cereal grain rich in carbohydrates. It is commonly used to produce flour, animal feed, and other products.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), global wheat production is projected to reach 788.49 million metric tons in the 2022/2023 season.

This represents an increase of 8.25 million metric tons compared to the previous period, which saw production of 780.24 million metric tons in 2021/2022.

By country, in 2022/2023, China was the world's largest wheat producer with a production volume of 137.72 million metric tons. Most of China's wheat production is used for domestic consumption.

China is not only the largest producer but also the largest consumer of wheat globally, consuming 148 million metric tons in 2022/2023. This consumption figure exceeds its production.

The European Union ranks second with a wheat production volume of 134.34 million metric tons, followed by India with 104 million metric tons, and Russia with 92 million metric tons in 2022/2023.
