Although large swaths of Russia and Ukraine enjoy excellent soils and growing conditions, Communist ideology and the practical constraints of the Cold War weighed heavily on farm yields and planted acreage in the past. Now, production is rocketing higher and catching up with performance improvements in similar, fertile regions of North America and Europe.
Agricultural exports, which already provide significant help addressing food shortages in Africa and Asia, should continue to set new records each year. The s and s are expected to bring slower growth in populations, and deficits in food supplies will narrow. The region can expect to be somewhat import-dependent indefinitely, but strong economic growth will enable consumers to afford to import what they need.
Much of the growing demand is for dairy and meat from Australia, New Zealand, and increasingly North America. Southeast Asian farms have made great strides in productivity in the past 20 years, but population has grown even faster. For the regions discussed in this Weekly Insight, we saw sizable and growing surpluses in the former Soviet Union, small positive balances in Europe and South Asia, and small but growing deficits in Southeast Asia.
Overall, the regions examined in this latest analysis give much less cause for worry than the previous ones. In general, we believe that excessive interregional dependency raises the risk of a negative outcome.
A region that lacks a reasonable degree of self-sufficiency can be a failed crop or two away from famine. Overall, our predictive modeling so far has shown that global balances of supply and demand seem healthy. But the geographic distribution of production relative to consumption could stand a great deal of improvement. The tough logistical challenge of getting food where it must go underlines the accompanying need for accurate, timely agricultural data of the sort that Gro Intelligence provides.
Toggle navigation Why Gro Intelligence? Ben Davis April 2, How did the USA become the bread basket of the world? Why are Americans called bread baskets? Which country became the bread basket of the world? Which country is known as granary of the world? Which region is known as Bread Basket? Which country is called wheat basket of the world? Is America still the breadbasket of the world? Which state was breadbasket of France?
Where is the breadbasket of China? What is the capital of the country called the breadbasket of Europe? What country has been called the breadbasket of the Middle East during the ancient times? Grains grown in the area include spring and winter wheat, sunflowers, corn, soy beans, peas, rapeseed and barley. Southeast Asia is one of the breadbaskets in the world, producing a large percentage of the food consumed worldwide. It produces rice, corn, sugarcane, cassava, soybeans, tropical fruits like pineapples and litchi, bananas, palm oil, sea food, coffee and many others.
Out of the top ten rice producing countries in the world, the region claims 5. The Philippines, which is a member of the region is the second ranked state in the world in pineapple exports. The Canadian Prairies made up of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan provinces are very important in the world due to their grain production.
Crops cultivated in the area are durum wheat, canola, barley, oats, lentils, brassica and horticultural products. They also keep sheep, cattle, and poultry. The Prairies export a lot of agricultural food products to other nations in the world.
Manitoba Province also produces the grain and exports it to more than 70 countries in the world among them the US and Japan.
The region also processes its own wheat into cereal food, flour, pasta and baked products such as bread and cakes. The second most cultivated grain is wheat, followed by corn, millet and oat. The country also produces sweet potatoes, white potatoes, vegetables, tropical fruits, oil seeds, tea, sugar cane and coffee amongst others. The state of California is an important entity in the total agricultural produce of the United States.
