Methodology

For asparagus, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds 156 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 150 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who led asparagus supply?

China, with 7,066,645 tonnes in 2023, or 89.4 percent of the listed total, 31.99 times second-placed United States at 220,875 tonnes, with Mexico third.

What moved the latest total?

The United States shed 26,556 tonnes, down 10.7 percent, with China shedding 23,038, together exceeding the 53,947-tonne net loss, while Mexico added 10,301 against them.

How did Mexico triple?

Mexico rose from 64,503 tonnes in 2019 to 192,492 in 2023, a gain of 127,989 tonnes or 198.4 percent, the largest percentage rise among the top five.

Who led per person?

China, at 13.61 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Mexico at 4.06, while second-placed United States sat at only 1.76 grams.

Does this supply equal food eaten?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.
