According to the FAO, only 5 countries in the world annually produce more than 20 million tons of potato, i.e. China (95 mln. tons), India (45 mln. tons), Russia (30 mln. tons), Ukraine (22 mln. tons) and the USA (20 mln. tons). Germany takes the sixth place in the world in potato production, but the gross output in this country is about 10 mln. tons.

In 2015 60% of the total world export accrued to the following countries: France - 17%, the Netherlands - 16%, Germany - 14%, Belgium - 8% and Egypt - 5%. In the majority of cases, potato to be exported is seeding.

Regardless of the fact that Ukraine is among the top five world potato producers, share in the world export of potato within the last 10 years amounted only from 0.01% to 0.13%.

43% of all potato import in the world accrues to the following top 5 countries: the Netherlands - 14%, Belgium - 13%, Spain - 6%, Italy - 5% and Russia - 5%.
