India
In terms of total calorie content, India is the second most productive food country in the world. When measured by the total value of agricultural production instead, India drops to fourth place and produces less than half of China's total output.
India has another problem: Many of its citizens are too poor to purchase the food it produces. There have been major strides in the 21st century as the Indian economy emerges, but many experts worry that the Indian population is growing even faster. At 1.2 billion people with a very high birth rate, India is expected to eclipse China as the world's largest population.
Farm productivity in India is also far lower than in China, the U.S. or Brazil. In 2010, analyst and author Somini Sengupta outlined three steps to boost Indian food efficiency: reduce food staple spoilage, improve infrastructure and reduce restrictions on producers.
