Tomato Production by Country 2026: Official FAOSTAT 2024 Ranking

Where Global Tomato Production Is Concentrated

China stands well apart from the rest of the world. Its 2024 crop was almost three times India's and more than four times Türkiye's. Only four countries exceeded 10 million tonnes: China, India, Türkiye and the United States.

The leading group is geographically diverse. China, India and Türkiye occupy the first three positions in Asia. The United States, Mexico and Brazil place the Americas strongly in the Top 10. Italy and Spain are the largest European producers in the ranking, while Egypt and Nigeria represent Africa.

FAO measures production as the harvested quantity of the crop in basic product weight. That makes this a ranking of physical agricultural output. It is not a ranking of tomato exports, farm income, harvested area or yield per hectare.

World tomato production reached about 188.5 million tonnes in 2024. The ten largest producers supplied approximately 138.9 million tonnes, or 73.7% of the global total.

China leads by a margin of more than 40 million tonnes over India. Türkiye and the United States form the next tier, followed by Egypt and Italy. Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Nigeria complete the ten largest producers.

Methodology

Figures come from FAOSTAT's Crops and livestock products database for the item Tomatoes and the production year 2024. Countries are ordered by total production in tonnes, from highest to lowest.

FAO receives crop statistics through national surveys, administrative systems, official publications and government sources. This makes FAOSTAT one of the main international references for comparing agricultural production across countries.

Where the source includes a fraction of a tonne, the visible figure is rounded to the nearest tonne. This does not change the order of countries in the ranking.

Production volume should not be confused with productivity or trade. A country may harvest a large crop because it devotes more land to tomatoes, while another may achieve a higher yield from a much smaller area. Export rankings can also look very different because much of a country's crop may be consumed or processed domestically.

Key Patterns in Global Tomato Production

What the Numbers Mean

The figures show where most of the world's tomatoes are grown. They measure total harvested output, so larger agricultural systems tend to rank highly even when their yields per hectare are not the world's highest.

Production and exports are also different measures. A large producer may consume or process most of its tomatoes domestically, while a smaller producer may send a greater share of its crop abroad.

The ranking is therefore best used to compare the scale of national tomato industries. Yield, harvested area, exports and farm value should be examined separately when the question is productivity, trade or economic importance.

Because every country is compared using the same 2024 production year, differences in rank reflect production levels rather than a mixture of different reporting years.
