Brazil Nuts Consumption by Country

Bolivia barely moved in 2023 — up 217 tonnes on a 4,485-tonne base — yet holds 66.6 percent of listed Brazil-nuts supply at 4,702 tonnes of 7,055 across 91 reporters. China did the moving: up 480 tonnes (152.4 percent) to 794.98, with France up 351 (245.9 percent) to 494.22. Five years show China down 677 tonnes as France climbed 453 and the Netherlands exited to zero. Per person Bolivia runs first at 1.05 grams a day.

Bolivia's 2023 Brazil-nuts figure of 4,702 tonnes stands 5.91 times China's 794.98, with France third at 494.22. Bolivia's 1.05 grams a day head the per-person order, ahead of Suriname at 0.16 and Iceland at 0.05.

What a 480-Tonne Rebound Covers

• China's 480-tonne rebound beat France's 351 — together 831 of a 985-tonne net.
• Bolivia's year added 217 tonnes on a 4,485-tonne base.
• Bolivia's five-year gain ran to a fraction of China's 677-tonne fall.
• Paraguay's 15.54 tonnes departed; Algeria arrived at 49.46.
• Bolivia's 1.05 grams a day head the per-person order by a wide margin.

66.6 Percent for Bolivia, Then China

4,702 tonnes for Bolivia (66.6 percent of 7,055), 794.98 for China and 494.22 for France. Italy and the United States follow at 208.41 and 183.8 tonnes. The top three reach 84.9 percent, the top five 90.5 percent and the top ten 95.8 percent. Bolivia converts first place by volume into first per person at 1.05 grams a day, with Suriname at 0.16 and Iceland at 0.05 further back.

587 Tonnes Net Down Across Five Years

Seventy-five reporters bridge 2019 and 2023: their combined figure went from 7,524 tonnes to 6,937 — a 587-tonne, 7.8 percent retreat. Thirteen reporters with 22 tonnes between them departed, Paraguay biggest at 15.54 tonnes, while sixteen joined with 118 — Algeria biggest at 49.46 tonnes. China came off 677 tonnes (46.0 percent down) while France put on 453 (1,085.5 percent up); the Netherlands came off 319 to zero and Bolivia put on 281 (6.4 percent up), with Italy off 167 (44.5 percent down), the United States on 155 (531.6 percent up), Qatar off 153 (97.6 percent down) and El Salvador off 104 (64.8 percent down).

985 Tonnes Net Up in the Latest Year

Eighty-eight reporters bridge 2022 and 2023: 6,020 tonnes became 7,006 — a 985-tonne, 16.4 percent advance, with Algeria, Bhutan and Papua New Guinea joining at 49.63 tonnes between them and nobody departing. China put on 480 tonnes (152.4 percent up) and France 351 (245.9 percent up), while Bolivia put on 217 (4.8 percent up); the United Kingdom came off 103 (79.1 percent down) and the United States 74 (28.8 percent down), with Iran on 72 (342.5 percent up), Italy on 65 (45.7 percent up) and Yemen off 62 (83.2 percent down).

Brazil Nuts on Their Own Among Nuts

Brazil nuts in shell make up a separate FAO item — counted on their own, never merged with fellow nuts. These figures track food available for human consumption in the reference year; per-day grams per person state the same supply against population.

Brazil Nuts Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

Bolivia's 4,702 tonnes towered over China's 794.98 for the largest 2023 listed Brazil-nuts consumption total — 66.6 percent of 7,055 tonnes across 91 reporters. France placed third at 494.22 tonnes. Bolivia's 1.05 grams a day paced the per-person ranking. Counted here is food available for human consumption, not Brazil nuts actually eaten. In short, Bolivia dominated the 2023 listed Brazil-nuts consumption total by volume and also recorded the highest listed amount per person, while China and France accounted for the largest recent increases among major reporters.

Methodology

The earlier endpoint year anchors every percentage here, across reporters holding values in both years. Tonnes come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity); daily grams per person from element 665 — for Brazil nuts in shell, 2019 through 2023. Counted is supply available for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing.

Tables carry reporters alone — 109 held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows omitted; China is the China reporter. Tonnes match FAO's publication, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 7,055 tonnes aggregates the 91 reporters with a 2023 value.
