The risk to Australia

Plant diseases cost Australia millions of dollars each year as they reduce productivity, increase the cost of production, impact on our ability to trade both locally and internationally and adversely affect our environment and biodiversity.

Note: images are not to size

Australia is free of many serious plant diseases such as karnal bunt of wheat, citrus greening, black sigatoka of banana and plum pox of stone fruit. While some plant diseases only affect a small number of plants, others can infect many different species. These exotic diseases, which can enter Australia on leaves, seed, fruit, roots and timber, pose a significant risk to both our plant industries and the environment.

What plant diseases look like

Plant diseases can infect any part of a plant and symptoms can vary. Disease symptoms can include leaf spots, lumps, cankers, colour changes (mottling, ring spots and lines), wilting, rots, malformed foliage, root galls and excessive growth.

What to look for

Since any part of a plant, from the seed to the roots, can be infected, look for anything unusual on seeds, fruit, leaves and other plant material including timber. Seeds may appear healthy but can still carry disease, so be sure to keep an eye out for them.

Because when getting moved they have to get used to the area and are less likely to get disease in they’re original area they know how to dodge disease and in a new country they don’t know where the diseases are and how to dodge them.

Blueberries require very specific conditions in which they can be grown, conditions which rarely occur, and hence they are generally only grown in North America. In fact, blueberry bushes were only introduced in Europe less than a century ago.

In the US, the state of Washington produces the most blueberries, and is followed by Michigan, Georgia, Oregon and then New Jersey.

Meanwhile, Maine produced around 10% of all the blueberries grown in the entire continent of North America, in terms of acres harvested. Furthermore, Canada has also been active in the blueberry growth, with the growth of blueberries accounting for around half of the total fruit production in the country.

While blueberries were historically harvested via berry picking rakes, nowadays, machine harvesters are the tool preferred by farmers to harvest blueberries, which is done via shaking the high rising cultivated blueberry bushes, to allow the berries to drop off the plant and be picked easily. Further work is being done in order to develop machinery or tools which can result in easy harvesting of low blueberry bushes, or wild bushes.

The fruit, after being harvested, is taken to a facility where it is cleaned, then packaged and finally sold. However, in Mexico, packing is often carried out by farmers directly at the site of harvesting, and even the sale may be carried out from the site. On the other hand, the fruit is sometimes also stored at different warehouses before it is sold.

To determine the 10 countries that produce the most blueberries in the world, InsiderMonkey.com referred to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Here are the countries according to blueberry production, starting with number 10:

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 2,718 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 2,888 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 5,000 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 5,498 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 9,011 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 2,718 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 10,277 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 12,731 tonnes

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 109,007 tonnes

1. The United States of America

Amount of blueberries produced annually: 239,071 tonnes

Producing more than twice the amount of blueberries than its nearest competitor, the United States of America easily produces the most blueberries in the world.

Top 10 Coffee-Producing Countries

There has been a lot of change throughout the years as the amount of coffee produced increases and decreases. Here is a breakdown of the top coffee growers around the world.

1. Brazil

Situated in South America, Brazil is the top producer of coffee. They produce 2,68 million metric tons of coffee on average every year. Brazil has also held onto its first-place position as the world's largest coffee producer for over 150 years.

Brazil's climate is perfect for growing Robusta and Arabica coffee beans. It offers the right amount of rainfall and sunlight, combined with its low elevation and even year-round temperatures, this offers the perfect climate for coffee production

2. Vietnam

Sitting comfortably in second, Vietnam. Exporting over 1.5 million metric tons of coffee a year, it is their second most exported asset after rice. After coffee was introduced in Vietnam by the French colonialists, in the 1800s in the Buôn Ma Thuột region, Vietnam still grows and produces coffee there to this day.

Vietnam is known as one of the world's largest producers of the Robusta coffee bean, which saw a surge after being reformed in 1986, which allowed private investors into the Vietnamese coffee industry, boosting it to the second largest coffee-producing country.

Overall, Vietnam contributes 40% of the world's overall production of the Robusta bean. Known widely for its bitterness and low acidity, it is perfect for well-rounded coffee blends.

3. Colombia

Situated back in South America, Colombia sits comfortably in position 3, producing over 760 thousand metric tons of coffee a year. Blessed with its faultless terrain and climate, Colombia is one of the few countries that only produce Arabica beans. Colombian coffee is known for is aromatic, mild and fruity flavours.

The Colombian Arabica coffee beans are grown at 1500-2000 metres and produce medium-bodied coffee that has a nutty aroma with a hint of citrus acidity.

4. Indonesia

Situated in Asia, Indonesia sits high up in position four of the largest coffee-producing countries, producing over 668 thousand metric tons of coffee a year. The coffee produced in Indonesia is extremely diverse. The start of coffee production dates back to the late 1600s during the period of the Dutch colonial period. The island of Java was the first island where coffee was produced in Indonesia.

Known for its famous java coffee, with its woody and earthy flavours, with rich and full body. Indonesian coffee is used widely by many for blends, as it is sought after due to its earthy notes, and complex spicy flavours.

5. Honduras

Our 5th largest coffee-producing country is Honduras. Producing over 475 metric tonnes of coffee a year, they are nudging in front of Ethiopia with a difference of 3,795 metric tons.

Its climate, similar to that of Costa Rica and Guatemala, was a coffee producer that until recently, was overlooked. Hindered in the past due to poor infrastructure, which lead to only 10% of their coffee crops being exported. However, due to its taste and authentic character, its coffee has become increasingly sought after.

Most of the coffee grown in Honduras is grown on a small farm in the mountains which is known as 'Fincas', at a high altitude of 1400-1700 metres. The Fincas have their own micro-climates, which provide mass ranges of flavours and aromas to the coffee beans, thanks to the growing of hazelnuts, vanilla and red fruits.

6. Ethiopia

In Africa, Ethiopia, which is known as the home of coffee, produces over 421 thousand metric tons of coffee a year. Coffee is close to the heart of Ethiopians and accounts for 10% of the country's gross domestic product.

Ethiopia offers a diverse range of bean varieties, each with its own distinct flavour and characteristics. Unlike other countries, the best coffee is used purely for local consumption, and won't ever leave the country. However, the coffee that is exported is of top quality.

7. Peru

Standing proud at number 7 is Peru. Their coffee is grown across 10 specific regions throughout the country, they are situated in the north, central belt and south of the country. Producing over 346 metric tons of coffee a year, Peru has been producing coffee since the 1700s.

Due to the country's failing business structure, their coffee production was often overlooked, which meant much of their produce was only consumed domestically. However, over the past years, farmers have been given the opportunity to export to world markets, which has placed Peru as one of the largest producers of coffee. Peruvian coffee is known for its medium body, and nutty floral and fruit tones.

8. India

A country full of rich culture and history, India comes in 8th as one of the largest coffee producers. The country produces over 234 thousand metric tons of coffee a year. After being badly affected by the disease known as coffee rust, which affected many of their coffee plantations, they replaced many of them with tea plantations. However, coffee has been in India since the reign of the Mughal empire in the 1600s.

Known for its production of Arabica coffee, nowadays, the majority of its coffee crops produce Robusta coffee beans. Which makes up 60% of their total coffee production.

Their coffee is mostly grown in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The bulk of Indian coffee exportation is exported through to European markets, where it is used in blended coffees.

9. Guatemala

Back in Central America, Guatemala is the 9th largest coffee producer. The country produces over 245 thousand metric tons of coffee a year. Coffee wasn't considered a crop in Guatemala until the late 1850s which was in the aftermath of the country's dye industry collapse. This was due to the introduction of chemical dyes in the European textile industry.

Coffee amounted to 90% of Guatemala's export by 1880, and still to this day, remains their largest. Mostly formed of Arabica beans, the main varieties of coffee produced are Caturra, Red and Yellow Catuai and Red and Yellow Bourbon.

10. Uganda

The 10th largest coffee producer is Uganda. However, don't let its placement fool you. Uganda produces over 209 thousand metric tons of coffee beans a year and is known for its Robusta coffee production. Its coffee production has been cultivated over generations. Ugandan coffee trees are thought to be the rarest naturally occurring coffee trees to be found anywhere on earth.

The coffee is grown primarily in the western regions of the Nile, Okoro region and northern regions of Lira and Gulu. It is also grown in the eastern regions of Mbale and Bugisu and the central and southwestern regions of Jinja, Mikono, Kampala and Masaka.

Uganda has recently been recognised and making speciality Arabica coffee beans. The Ugandan Robusta beans are known for their wine-like acidity, with rich chocolatey notes.

That is our trip to the largest coffee producers around the world over. Each country has a rich history and connection that goes back centuries with coffee. But each country is a master at their coffee production and deserves to be among the top coffee producers. There are of course other countries around the world that grow coffee, but these are the most notable coffee producers out there.

Potatoes are one of the world's most popular and versatile crops, loved by people all over the globe. They are a staple food in many countries and are used in a variety of dishes. But have you ever wondered which countries produce the most potatoes?

In this article, we will take a look at the top 10 potato-producing countries in the world and explore why they are leading the way in potato production.

List of Top 10 Potato Producing Countries

Here are the top 10 potato-producing countries in the world :

Let's learn about each of them in detail.

France has a production of 7.4 million tonnes in 2021. Potatoes have been an integral part of French cuisine for centuries, and the country is known for its various potato dishes, such as gratins and pommes frites.

Potatoes came to France in the late 1500s when a guy named Sir Walter Raleigh brought them from South America.

At first, people didn't like potatoes in France because they thought they caused a disease called leprosy. So, they mostly fed them to animals.

But by the 1700s, people in France started to enjoy eating potatoes.

France makes a lot of frozen French fries and sells them to other countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and Belgium.

In France, there are some places where scientists work on making new kinds of potatoes and figuring out how to grow them better without harming the environment.

9. Netherlands

The Netherlands is known for its advanced agricultural techniques, and it is no surprise that it ranks ninth on our list with a production of 7.9 million tonnes in 2021. Dutch potatoes are highly sought after for their quality and consistency.

The Netherlands is the second biggest seller of potatoes in the world, making about 7 million tons of potatoes each year.

Potatoes are a big deal in the Netherlands, the industry is worth about €1.8 billion and gives jobs to more than 30,000 people.

People in the Netherlands have been growing potatoes since a long time ago, since the late 1500s. They've gotten really good at it over the years.

Farmers in the Netherlands use new and smart ways to grow, pick, and keep potatoes. This helps them grow a lot of potatoes quickly.

The Netherlands is famous for having really good potato seeds, which they sell to more than 80 countries all around the world.

Poland is the eighth-largest producer of potatoes, with a production of 10.3 million tonnes in 2021. The country's potato industry has been growing steadily, and Poland is now one of the major exporters of potatoes to other European countries.

7. Bangladesh

Despite being a small country, Bangladesh produces a significant amount of potatoes, with a production of 11 million tonnes in 2021. Potatoes are an essential part of the country's diet, and the government has been encouraging farmers to increase their potato production to meet the rising demand.

Germany ranks sixth on our list with a production of 11.4 million tonnes in 2021. The country has a long history of potato cultivation and is known for its high-quality potatoes, which are exported to many countries around the world.

People in Germany have been growing potatoes since the 1500s, when Spanish explorers brought them over.

In Germany, they grow different kinds of potatoes like Sieglinde, Linda, Annabelle, Adretta, and Marabel. These potatoes taste really good and can be used in many ways for cooking.

Germany sells a lot of potatoes to other countries nearby. In 2019, they sent over 1.2 million tons of potatoes to places like the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria.

5. United States

The United States is the fifth-largest producer of potatoes, with a production of 20.5 million tonnes in 2021. Potatoes are grown in almost every state in the US, but the majority are produced in Idaho, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Idaho is the number one state in the U.S. for growing potatoes. They make more than 13 billion pounds of potatoes every year.

Washington state is also really good at growing potatoes. They produce over 10 billion pounds of potatoes each year, and they have some really big potato farms there.

Even though it's not as famous for potatoes as Idaho or Washington, North Dakota still grows a lot of them. They make over 2 billion pounds of potatoes every year, and they're known for having really good russet potatoes.

The Ukraine is the fourth-largest producer of potatoes, with a production of 22.2 million tonnes in 2021. The country's potato industry has been growing steadily, and it is known for producing high-quality potatoes that are in demand in both domestic and international markets.

Russia holds the third spot on our list with a production of 29.9 million tonnes in 2021. With vast amounts of fertile land, Russia has been able to increase its potato production significantly in recent years, making it a key player in the global potato market.

India is the second-largest producer of potatoes, with a production of 48.2 million tonnes in 2021. Potatoes are an essential crop in India, used in traditional dishes such as aloo paratha and samosas, making it an integral part of the country's cuisine.

The Portuguese brought potatoes to India in the early 1600s.

But it wasn't until the 1800s that people started growing potatoes to sell.

In the 1960s, when there was a big change in farming called the Green Revolution, India started growing a lot more potatoes.

India has different kinds of weather, from really hot to kind of cool, which is great for growing potatoes.

The big states in the north like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal grow the most potatoes in India.

China takes the top spot as the largest producer of potatoes in the world, with a staggering production of 99.2 million tonnes in 2021. China's climate and fertile land make it an ideal location for growing potatoes, and the country has been investing heavily in modernizing its potato industry.

Potatoes have been grown in China for over 400 years, starting from a long time ago during a period called the Ming Dynasty. But it wasn't until the 1950s that more and more potatoes started to be grown there.

China has a lot of land, and it's got different kinds of landscapes. Some places are cold and dry up north, and some places are warm and wet down south. Because of this, China can grow potatoes all year round.

China is really good at using new technology to help grow more potatoes. They have better kinds of potato seeds now, and they use machines to help them farm more efficiently. This means they can grow lots and lots of potatoes.
