Global production of bread wheat in 2003 was 557 Mt, with an average yield of 2.68 t/ha (http://apps.fao.org/).Theworld’smajor breadwheatproducing areas are in northern China, northern India, northern USA and adjoining areas in Canada, northern and central Europe, western Russia, southern Australia, southern Latin America and South Africa. Worldwide, wheat provides nearly 55% of the carbohydrate and 20% of the food calories consumed globally (Breiman and Graur 1995). |
