Highest reported production in the available 1961–2024 record: 22,150,287 t (2021). Missing years are excluded from the peak search.

A five-year average requires all five preceding calendar years. Ten-year change compares the two endpoints, not an annual growth rate. Percentages require a positive baseline. Source flags remain in the annual table; these comparisons do not explain the causes of change.

Separate scales preserve each measure’s meaning. Gaps remain visible; no values are interpolated.

How Argentina fits into world wheat production

Compare the largest reported producers in the same harvest year. A larger harvest is not a measure of greater efficiency or food security.

Sources & how to read this page

FAOSTAT · Crops and livestock products. Source edition dated ; retrieved 7 October 2026. Harvest observations end in 2024. This reference page is refreshed when a reviewed edition is published.

Three different measures

Production is reported crop output in tonnes. Yield is output per harvested hectare in kg/ha. Harvested area is measured in hectares; it is not necessarily the area of unique land because multiple harvests can use the same land.

Comparable, with limits

Annual changes compare consecutive reported years. Missing years and zero denominators have no percentage estimate. World shares use the same-year FAOSTAT World total. Rankings exclude World and the overlapping China aggregate (M49 159).

Historical context

National totals do not describe every region or field and do not measure hunger, current crop condition or production at risk. Annual records use the source’s harvest-year convention; they do not establish a harvest month.
