Key Takeaways

In 2023, India had the largest listed food supply of bananas at 28,928 thousand tonnes, with China second at 10,750 thousand tonnes and Indonesia third at 8,843 thousand tonnes. Nigeria followed at 7,308 thousand tonnes and Brazil at 5,745 thousand tonnes. Papua New Guinea's 107.22 kilograms per person per year lead the per-capita ranking, followed by Laos at 97.25 kilograms.

Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 171 reporters with data in both years rose from 105,290 thousand tonnes to 107,219 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,929 thousand tonnes (1.8 percent), as India added 1,539 thousand tonnes and Kenya added 782 thousand tonnes. Since 2019, the common-reporter total has grown 11.3 percent, with India contributing 46.8 percent of the increase. Nigeria, fourth in 2023, has no reported 2019 value and sits outside the five-year comparison. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of bananas actually eaten.

The top three reporters account for 45.3 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 57.4 percent and the top ten account for 70.5 percent. Guatemala records just 89 thousand tonnes in 2023 against 1,001 thousand tonnes in 2022.

India Adds 1,539 Thousand Tonnes as Supply Grows 1.8 Percent Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 171 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 105,290 thousand tonnes to 107,219 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,929 thousand tonnes (1.8 percent).

Per capita, Papua New Guinea's 107.22 kilograms from 1,114 thousand tonnes lead Laos at 97.25 kilograms, while India, first by total, records 20.12 kilograms.

What Does "Bananas Consumption" Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the bananas figure used here covers the FAO item Bananas recorded under the Food element as available for human consumption. It represents food available for human consumption during the reference year, rather than a direct estimate of how much bananas people actually consumed. Plantains recorded under their own item sit outside this figure.

The per-capita figure expresses the same food supply on a population basis, in kilograms per person per year. A country's total quantity and per-capita value therefore answer different questions: total quantity shows the size of the listed food supply, while the per-capita measure adjusts it for population.

Bananas Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, according to FAO Food Balances, India had the largest listed bananas food supply among the 171 reporters with reported values, at 28,928 thousand tonnes. China ranked second at 10,750 thousand tonnes, while Indonesia ranked third at 8,843 thousand tonnes. Papua New Guinea had the highest per-capita bananas food supply at 107.22 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of bananas actually eaten.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Food Balances food quantity (Element 5142, thousand tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 645, kg/capita/year) for Bananas from 2019 through 2023. The Food element represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten, as food can be lost or wasted before it is consumed. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero.

The reporter universe for this item contains 172 reporters. The tables list reporters only; aggregate rows such as World, regions and China (aggregate) are excluded, while China figures refer to the China reporter. For year-to-year comparisons, only reporters with values in both endpoint years are included in the arithmetic. A zero indicates a displayed value of zero, while an empty cell indicates that no value is available for that reporter and year.

Quantities of 1,000 thousand tonnes and above are shown as whole numbers; smaller quantities retain up to two decimals. FAO Food Balances primarily use official national statistics, with some data also estimated or imputed where applicable. The FAO dataset reports the Food element in thousand tonnes and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year. The 2023 listed total of 107,219 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 171 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
