The bar charts compare the production of different citrus fruits in Brazil, China and the USA.
Overall, oranges accounted for the largest share of citrus fruit production in Brazil and the USA, while China was dominant in the production of tangerines. The figures for Brazil and the USA were quite similar, whereas China showed a very different distribution.
In terms of oranges, Brazil was the leading producer, with 87% of its citrus output consisting of this fruit. The USA followed with 73%, while in China oranges made up only 18%, which was the lowest among the three countries. This indicates that orange cultivation is heavily concentrated in the American continent.
By contrast, China stood out for its production of tangerines, which represented 74% of its total citrus yield. This proportion was nearly six times higher than in Brazil and the USA, where tangerines accounted for only 3-6%. Regarding other citrus fruits such as lemons and grapefruits, the percentages were relatively low across all three countries and showed no major differences compared with the dominant categories.
In conclusion, Brazil was the most significant producer of oranges, while China clearly specialized in tangerines. The USA showed a balanced pattern, though closer to Brazil in terms of orange production.
