If you're speaking in weight consumed per person it would be rice, then wheat, then potatos.
Rice is the most commonly consumed food grain in the world. The U.S. is the leading exporter of it, though we actually only produce about 1% of the global supply. The majority of the world's rice is eaten within five miles of where it was grown.

7: Rice
Rice is a grain eaten by more people in the world than any other grain. This makes it the world's most consumed staple food, particularly in Asia. In fact, three of the most populated regions of the world, China, India and Indonesia, are all rice based societies and it is their staple food.
Rice is grown in over 100 countries and grows best in those where water is plentiful. Rice is most often grown in fields that are flooded with water called paddies. The field may be naturally flooded or may have been irrigated with water. Most white rice is grown this way, however, rice can also grow on hills.
