Loquats are a popular fruit in China, with a long history of cultivation. They are widely grown in various regions, including the provinces of Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu.
Italy is another significant loquat producer, with a strong tradition of loquat cultivation in the southern regions.
Other major producers include:

While precise production figures are scarce, China's vast agricultural sector and significant loquat cultivation suggest it likely holds the top spot.
