Grapes are the most planted fruit crop globally, with 29,000 square miles of space used and 150 trillion pounds produced annually. 70% of grapes are used for wine, but this varies by region. Bananas are also widely grown, with over 120 countries producing them. The WHO estimates that 1.7 million deaths each year are caused by inappropriate consumption of products. Tropical fruits such as mangoes, papayas, and pineapples are popular, with 80.5 million tons produced in 2010.
Grapes are the most planted fruit crop in the world, with more than 29,000 square miles (about 75,000 square km) of space used and approximately 150 trillion pounds (68 trillion kg) of grapes produced each year. The amount of land used for growing grapes is expected to increase by 2% each year. The prevalence of grapevine crops is thought to be mainly due to their adaptability to most climates. Most of the grapes – around 70% – are used to make wine, but that figure can vary by region. For example, in California, more than half of grape crops are used as fresh or dried fruit in raisins.
