The first one is correct. The second one is technically grammatical, but nobody would ever say it. If you *did* want to ask it that way, you'd say "The people of which country..." but it's still not likely...

Both are ok, but the first one is better written. You wouldn't usually refer to the producers as people but as the group name based on function e.g. industry, workforce, population, etc.
However, if you were talking eating chocolate (an individual action) you could write:
One: Which country consumes the most chocolate?
Two: Which country's people consumes the most chocolate?
although I'd still go for 1 as it's less stilted.
PS "The people of which country" and "Which country's people" are both correct but again I'd probably go for the first as it's easier to understand but people would say both especiallly in conversation rather than written down.
