Cashew Nuts Counted on Their Own

Cashew nuts in shell stand as their own FAO item — apart from other nuts, which never enter these figures. Counted is food available for human consumption in the reference year; daily grams per person slice the same supply by population.

Cashew Nuts Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

The Philippines' 129,451 tonnes were the largest 2023 listed cashew-nuts consumption total — 36.1 percent of 358,392 tonnes across 122 reporters. Indonesia followed at 62,335 and Colombia at 58,050 tonnes. Guinea-Bissau had the highest per-capita figure at 45.21 grams per person per day. What is counted is food available for human consumption, not cashew nuts actually eaten. In short, the Philippines had the largest listed cashew-nuts consumption total in 2023, while Guinea-Bissau ranked first per person despite placing fourth by total tonnes.

Methodology

Every percentage here divides by the earlier endpoint year, across reporters holding values in both years. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts supply the tonnes (element 5141, food supply quantity) and the daily grams per person (element 665) — for cashew nuts in shell, 2019 through 2023. Supply available for human consumption in the reference year is what gets counted, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing.

The tables admit reporters only — 135 of them held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows left out; China is the China reporter. Tonnes stand as FAO published them, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 358,392 tonnes adds the 122 reporters with a 2023 value.
