Here in the Northwest are very familiar with apples as it is a large crop in Washington state. I was interested today in where else apples are grown.
About 40% of the apples in the world are grown in China. I was pretty surprised by this as I wouldn't have thought there would be so many apples grown there. The second highest producer is the US at about 7.5% followed by Iran, Turkey and Russia.
Within the US about 60% of the apples grown are from Washington.
