In a balanced ecosystem, the number of producers is far greater than the number of consumers.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a biotic and abiotic system in which the living organisms or biotic components interact with the abiotic environment.

A food chain can be stated as the linear order of the transfer of energy and food when one organism is consumed or eaten by another organism. The energy flows in among the different trophic levels.

The producers form the lowermost trophic level. The highest energy in the energy pyramid exhibits by producers.  

The primary consumers are herbivores which eat plants for their food and energy. The energy in each higher trophic level decreases when the lower trophic level organism is consumed by a higher trophic level organism.  

Therefore, in a balanced ecosystem, the number of producers is far greater than the number of consumers.
