The aim of the paper is to characterise the production of grain in the EU member states. Food products made of grain are important in a human diet. The total output of grain in various regions of the world is different for the period of two years. On average, 330-350 kg of grain is produced per capita; its distribution among various countries of the world is very uneven, ranging from less than 100 kg to more than 1 ton per capita, hence an acceptable amount would be around 500 kg per capita. The highest yields are gained in the West European countries: the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Belgium where yields are within a range of 6-8 t/ha.
