Agricultural land

[12] Approximately 30 percent of global cropland and permanent meadows and pastures can be found in three countries.

The countries with the highest croplandarea per capita are Kazakhstan, Australia and Canada, due to vast areas of land available.

[12] Globally, the total amount of permanent pasture according to the FAO has been in decline since 1998,[13] in part due to a decrease of wool production in favor of synthetic fibers (such as polyester) and cotton.

The most prevalent crops in Russia are wheat, barley, corn, rice, sugar beet, soy beans, sunflower, potatoes and vegetables.

[18] Russian farmers harvested roughly 85–90 million tonnes of wheat annually in the years around 2010.

[19] It was the main supplier of corn, wheat, and rape to Europe,[19] although it is unclear whether the internal supply from countries like France were accounted in this calculation.

Ukrainian farmers achieve 60% of the output per unit area of their North American competitors.

[19] UkrLandFarming PLC[clarification needed] produces, from 650,000 hectares (1.6m acres), corn, wheat, barley, sugar beet, and sunflowers.

[20] Average cropland value in the Midwest according to 2020 data from the US Department of Agriculture is $4,607 per acre[21] (about $11,000 per hectare).
