Countries that grow the most bananas

How many tonnes of bananas each country harvested in 2023, from the UN food agency’s production figures.

Source FAO, as of 31 December 2023 · production (tonnes)

(FAOSTAT), Crops and livestock products — banana production in tonnes, 2023, the year the onion and potato lists use; 62 of the 118 countries ranked carry an official figure, 54 are FAO imputations or estimates, and two (Yemen, Lebanon) come from another organization. FAO counts plantains and cooking bananas as a separate item, so Uganda, which reports no 2023 banana figure, is not ranked. FAO serves "China" as an aggregate of its mainland and Taiwan alongside both parts; this list ranks the aggregate and drops the parts. Regional aggregates are excluded, and countries reporting no bananas are not ranked. Ranked here, in whole tonnes.
