How to read this number

The total weight, in tonnes, of the crop or product harvested or produced in the country in a year, as reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Item: Green chilies and sweet peppers.

Only countries with a production above zero are listed. Countries that grow or make none, or that have no FAO figure, are not ranked (they are not counted as zero). Many figures, especially for small countries, are estimated by the FAO, so small differences between countries are not reliable. Weather and harvests change the amounts from year to year.

  • Countries listed: 124 (of 193)
  • Data years: 2023–2024 (differs by country)
  • 123 countries use 2024 data
