Leading producers
The European Union is the second ranked wheat producing region. It was forecast that the region would yield more than 137.5 million metric tons of wheat by 2032, accounting for about one-fifth of the world wheat production.In 2023, around 49.6 million were planted and 37.3 million acres of wheat were harvested in the United States. Almost every U.S. state is involved in the nation’s wheat production, with North Dakota and the ‘Wheat State’ Kansas producing the largest volume. Many developing countries are highly dependent on the Ukraine and Russia's wheat imports. As of June 2022, Armenia and Mongolia fully relied on Russia for meslin and wheat imports. Laos reported the most significant dependence on meslin and wheat supplies from Ukraine, at over 98 percent of total imports of these commodities
