Consider the following statements:

2. India ranks second in the world in the export of tobacco.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

question_subject: 

Economics

question_exam: 

IAS

stats: 

0,21,96,16,40,40,21

keywords: 

{'fruit production': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'tobacco': [4, 2, 5, 4]}

The first statement is incorrect. While India is a leading producer of fruits, it does not rank first globally. China holds the first rank in terms of fruit production. The second statement is also incorrect. While India is one of the largest producers of tobacco, it does not rank second in terms of exports. The largest exporter of tobacco is Brazil. Therefore, neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct, making option 4 the correct answer.
