Bulgur Consumption by Country

The United States holds 26,578 tonnes of listed bulgur supply in 2023 — 44.7 percent of a 59,402-tonne total across only 12 reporters with values. The United States, Belarus and Jordan together hold 94.6 percent of the total. The United States added 51.1 percent in the latest year while Belarus fell 9.2 percent, and over five years the common total fell 8.3 percent as Belarus lost 6,620 tonnes and Ukraine fell to a reported zero. Belarus tops per person at 5.77 grams a day.

The United States sits top at 26,578 tonnes, 1.38 times Belarus at 19,200, with Jordan third at 10,443 and Kyrgyzstan fourth at 1,580. Per person Belarus doubles most of the field at 5.77 grams a day, ahead of Jordan at 2.50 and Kyrgyzstan at 0.61. The United States, first by total, records 0.21 grams per person.

Reading This Twelve-Reporter Table

• The United States reported the largest 2023 supply at 26,578 tonnes.
• Belarus ranked second at 19,200 tonnes, followed by Jordan at 10,443.
• Belarus recorded the highest per-person figure at 5.77 grams a day.
• The listed total was 59,402 tonnes across 12 reporters with values.
• Across 7 reporters present in both 2019 and 2023, supply fell 4,290 tonnes, or 8.3 percent.

Three Reports Hold 94.6 Percent

Bulgur reaches the table as food in a tiny universe: 18 reporters hold any value over the window, and the top three hold 94.6 percent of the listed total. The listed figures describe reported supply rather than a global ranking, since most of the world reports no bulgur supply at all.

The two windows point opposite ways. The single-year common total rose 16.7 percent on the United States' surge, while the five-year common total fell 8.3 percent on Belarus's fall and Ukraine's drop to a reported zero. Jordan, Kyrgyzstan and South Korea had no 2022 values but recorded a combined 12,223 tonnes in 2023, placing them third, fourth and sixth.

The United States, Belarus and Jordan at 94.6 Percent

The 2023 table opens with the United States at 26,578 tonnes, Belarus second at 19,200 and Jordan third at 10,443. Kyrgyzstan and Australia follow at 1,580 and 1,380 tonnes. The United States holds 44.7 percent of the 59,402-tonne listed total.

The top three reporters accounted for 94.6 percent of the listed total, the top five 99.6 percent and the top ten effectively the entire total. Jordan, Kyrgyzstan and South Korea had no reported 2022 value and entered the recent comparison. Per capita, Belarus's 5.77 grams per person per day lead Jordan at 2.50 grams.

Up 16.7 Percent in a Year on the United States

Across the 9 reporters with values in both 2022 and 2023, listed supply moved from 40,429 tonnes to 47,179 tonnes, up 6,750 tonnes or 16.7 percent. The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 9 reporters; Jordan, Kyrgyzstan and South Korea entered with a combined 12,223 tonnes but had no 2022 value, so they sit outside this comparison. The United States added 8,985 tonnes (up 51.1 percent), Myanmar 14 tonnes from a reported zero, Malta about 4 tonnes and Ireland about 2 tonnes, while Belarus fell 1,937 tonnes (down 9.2 percent), Australia 317 (down 18.7 percent) and Albania about 1 tonne (down 100.0 percent).

The United States' gain of 8,985 tonnes against a net increase of 6,750 means the remaining reporters effectively offset part of it, with Belarus's decline the largest counterweight. Myanmar, Malta and Ireland moved small absolute amounts, so their large proportional changes describe tiny bases rather than meaningful shifts.

Five Years Down 8.3 Percent on Belarus

For the 7 reporters with values in both 2019 and 2023, listed supply fell from 51,465 tonnes to 47,175 tonnes, down 4,290 tonnes or 8.3 percent. The 2019 universe holds 12 reporters with values against 12 in 2023; five reporters with a combined 44 tonnes left, while five with a combined 12,227 tonnes entered, led by Jordan at 10,443 tonnes. Belarus fell 6,620 tonnes (down 25.6 percent), Ukraine 1,054 (down 100.0 percent) and Senegal about 7 (down 100.0 percent), while the United States added 3,355 tonnes (up 14.4 percent), Australia 19 (up 1.4 percent), Myanmar 14 and Ireland about 3 tonnes from a reported zero.

Belarus's fall from 25,820 to 19,200 tonnes exceeds the net five-year decline on its own, with Ukraine's decline to a reported zero adding to it. The United States' rise from 23,223 to 26,578 tonnes partly offset both, but not by enough to keep the common total from shrinking.

What Counts as Bulgur Supply?

Counted here is the Bulgur item in the FAO Supply Utilization Accounts, as food available for human consumption during the reference year. A total of this kind is not an estimate of what people actually ate.

The per-capita measure converts the reported food supply into grams available per person during the day. It offers a population-adjusted view of the same item, and here the two views split: the United States leads by total while Belarus leads per person.

Bulgur Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

Twelve reporters share the 2023 bulgur supply of 59,402 tonnes, and the United States holds nearly half of it at 26,578 tonnes. Belarus (19,200) and Jordan (10,443) follow by total, while Belarus tops per person at 5.77 grams a day. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.

Methodology

Year-to-year comparisons use reporters present in both endpoint years, with the earlier year as the percentage base. Totals are FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity (element 5141, tonnes); per-capita figures are element 665 in grams per capita per day — both for bulgur, 2019 through 2023. The elements count supply made available for human consumption over the reference period. A displayed zero means zero and a blank cell means no value was reported, and no percentage is shown where the base-year value is zero.

This item covers 18 reporters in total, reporters only: World, regional and China (aggregate) rows are left out entirely, so China here means the China reporter. The 59,402-tonne listed total adds the 12 reporters with a 2023 value, in tonnes exactly as FAO reports them, without extra rounding.
