China (2.3 Mt) produces over triple India (727 kt), the world's second producer — a ratio that fairly closely tracks the tobacco consumption ranking (see the separate indicator): China remains both the world's top producer and top market for tobacco, with most of its harvest consumed domestically rather than exported.
