China's 2023-2024 gain of 2,917,536 tonnes stands at 506 percent of the common-universe net gain of 576,468 tonnes. China's increase was larger than the net gain because declines in Spain, Türkiye, Thailand and other countries offset much of its growth.

China holds 42.4 percent of the listed 2024 total, about 3.95 times Saudi Arabia's share; the top three together hold 61.0 percent, the top five 70.8 percent and the top ten 84.6 percent. European buyers cluster through the middle of the ranking — the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Portugal (472,227 tonnes), Denmark (328,214 tonnes) and Romania (296,606 tonnes) — while Japan led imports in Asia-Pacific, and Brazil and Colombia were among the largest buyers in the Americas; Türkiye took 159,678 tonnes.

The totals listed for each year were 38,206,556 tonnes (137 reporters) and 33,586,234 tonnes (104 reporters); 38 countries reporting in 2023 (about 5.2 million tonnes combined, led by Tunisia with 1,430,368 and Morocco with 1,124,162 tonnes) did not report in 2024. Beyond China and Saudi Arabia, Brazil added 320,908 tonnes (up 52.1 percent), Ireland 241,319 tonnes (up 84.0 percent) and the Netherlands 146,330 tonnes (up 5.9 percent). Spain recorded the largest absolute retreat among continuing reporters, down 1,769,411 tonnes (down 52.7 percent), followed by Türkiye with 1,297,684 tonnes (down 89.0 percent) and Thailand with 612,508 tonnes (down 94.1 percent).

Methodology

Yearly reporter totals in this table sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Barley, import quantity and import value, 2020-2024. Displayed quantities keep two decimals below 1,000 tonnes and whole tonnes above; values are full current US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. The ranking and all shares rest on 2024 listed quantities. For barley imports, a zero indicates a reported zero quantity, whereas an empty cell means no quantity was reported. Change calculations admit only countries reporting quantities in both compared years, while entering and exiting reporters are quantified on their own lines. Partner-sourced gap filling and food-aid additions may apply, and bilateral pairs are not fully reconciled, so an export record and its mirror import can disagree.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can a country account for more than 100% of net import growth?

China added 2,917,536 tonnes between 2023 and 2024 while the 99-country common universe grew by only 576,468 tonnes net, because Spain, Türkiye, Thailand and others retreated at the same time. A contribution above 100 percent means the country's move was larger than the net change, offsetting opposite moves — it is arithmetic, not error.

Why did Morocco and Tunisia vanish from the ranking?

Neither reported a 2024 quantity: Morocco reported 1,124,162 tonnes for 2023 and Tunisia 1,430,368 tonnes, both blank in 2024. Missing reports of that scale reshape each-year totals, which is why year-to-year change here uses only the 99 common reporters.

How should Denmark's 177.6 percent rise be read?

Denmark grew from 118,229 tonnes in 2023 to 328,214 tonnes in 2024, an increase of 209,985 tonnes. The high percentage mirrors the modest starting base and must be read alongside the absolute gain of about 0.21 million tonnes.

Do barley imports measure a country's total use?

No. The table records reported imports, rather than domestic output, consumption, stocks, exports or end use. Imports contribute to supply but cannot on their own measure total barley use.
