Abstract: Crop production, as one of the two main branches of agriculture, occupies a vital place in the global economy. It provides the majority of the world’s food supply and serves as a primary source of raw materials for processing industries such as textiles, chemistry, and pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, it constitutes the foundation of the feed base for livestock farming while also utilizing organic fertilizers produced by animal husbandry. Currently, more than 20,000 agricultural plant species are cultivated worldwide, of which approximately 650 hold primary significance for the development of human civilization. Modern production technologies are increasingly oriented towards the precise assessment of factors and conditions that influence the productivity and quality of agricultural crops. The role of crop production in ensuring food security and fostering economic growth is substantial. In most countries, especially in rural areas, the livelihoods of the majority of the population depend directly or indirectly on crop production. Therefore, the analysis and evaluation of the role of crop production in the global economy is of particular importance.
