Sugar cane was the most produced crop worldwide in 2022. The largest proportion of sugar cane was produced in the Americas, specifically Brazil. Sugar cane production is a major cause of tropical deforestation. In 2022, more than 370 million metric tons of oil palm fruit were produced in Asia. Oil palm fruit is also a significant contributor to deforestation, especially in Indonesia.
