- Total consumption values are expressed in kilotonnes (i.e., a displayed value of 83 = 83,000 tonnes)
- Also known as a metric ton, one tonne = 1,000 kg, or roughly 2,204.6 lbs.
Apple Production The total quantity of apples harvested in a country, typically measured in metric tons.
Share of Global Production A country's percentage contribution to total worldwide apple production.
Global Apple Production
Global apple production is highly concentrated among a small number of countries. In 2022, China produced 47.6 million tonnes of apples, accounting for just over 50% of total world production. No other country came close to China’s output. Turkey ranked second with 4.8 million tonnes, followed by the United States with 4.4 million tonnes and Poland with 4.3 million tonnes.
Although apples are grown in dozens of countries, production is dominated by a handful of major agricultural economies. The top producers are concentrated in Asia, Europe, and North America, where favorable growing conditions, established orchard industries, and strong domestic demand support large-scale cultivation.
The World’s Leading Apple Producers
After China, the world’s largest apple-producing countries are Turkey, the United States, Poland, India, Russia, and Italy. Together with China, these countries account for the majority of global apple production. China alone contributes 50.1% of worldwide output, while Turkey (5.1%), the United States (4.7%), and Poland (4.5%) make up the next tier of major producers.
Beyond the top four, countries such as India, Russia, Italy, Iran, France, and Chile each produce between 1.5 and 2.7 million tonnes annually. While their individual shares are much smaller than China’s, they play important roles in supplying domestic markets and supporting international trade in fresh apples and apple products.
