Answer 1

Hint: The global production of wheat was 772 million tonnes in 2017 and China was the top producer of this cereal grain. It is a very popular and in-demand cultivation right now as a cash crop.

Complete answer:
Among the following options, India produces the largest producer of wheat. Then, in 2nd place, it is the United States of America. Mexico comes in the 3rd place and Japan has zero to very little wheat production.

Additional Information: Wheat production is the most popular cultivation in many countries nowadays as it’s a common source of carbohydrates. Wheat was first cultivated in the Fertile Crescent in around 9600 BCE. The demand for wheat production has increased so many in the last decades because of its unique viscoelastic and adhesive property of gluten proteins and this helps in the production of processed foods, and the high amount of carbohydrates and vegetable protein. Therefore, it became a source of processed foods as well as nutrients and dietary fiber.
The 3 leading countries that produce the most wheat are China, India, and Russia. These 3 only can provide 41% of the world's total wheat production.
So, the correct answer is “India”.

Note: As the demand for wheat is increasing, the leading countries are taking various advanced methods to increase the yield of this crop. Methods such as crop rotation and fertilizers improve plant growth. Combines of harvesters, reaper binder machines, and tractor-drawn cultivators and planters are used in order to make the yield of wheat efficient.
