Who grows our crops around the world by country?

This a very interesting chart on who is growing the major crops around the world. The US is still the breadbasket for the world, but it may surprise many what is happening around the rest of the world. Note, we are not incorporating rice production. First, the production in the US has been falling albeit slightly, yet the world still needs food. That food production is coming from one major supplier, Brazil. The explosion of soybeans from Brazil is truly amazing. It outstrips the US and every other country. When you add the rest of Latin America, the EM south is the bean capital for production. The amount of corn from this region is also quite large. It may surprise many how much corn and wheat production comes from China. This is for domestic production, but corn is king in China. The world trade in grains is mainly about the US, in the north, Brazil in the south, and extra needs from China.
