Centrifugal Raw Sugar Consumption by Country

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts record raw cane or beet sugar, centrifugal only, available for human consumption, in tonnes and in grams per person per day, from 2019 through 2023. The file covers 38 reporters; 37 of them carry a 2023 value, adding to a listed total of 2,276,632 tonnes. Egypt holds nearly three-quarters of the 2023 supply — while the Dominican Republic rose from a reported zero in 2019 to second place in 2023.

Egypt reported the largest 2023 supply at 1,693,960 tonnes, while Panama recorded the highest per-capita figure at 62.42 grams per person per day.

The Biggest Changes Since 2019

• The Dominican Republic rose from zero to 251,200 tonnes — 218.3 percent of the five-year net gain.
• Egypt holds 74.4 percent after dipping to 1.50 million tonnes in 2022.
• Pakistan's 48,396 tonnes left the comparison; the 2022–2023 total increased 8.7 percent, led by Egypt's rebound.
• Panama is fourth by volume and first per person at 62.42 grams.

Egypt Holds 74.4 Percent; Panama Leads per Person

Egypt's 1,693,960 tonnes top the 2023 table at 74.4 percent of the listed total, 6.74 times the Dominican Republic's 251,200 in second. Haiti follows at 151,116 with Panama at 101,590; the top three hold 92.1 percent, the top five 97.2 percent and the top ten 99.2 percent. Lesotho, Oman, Rwanda, Bhutan, Comoros and Kuwait complete the ten. Per person, Panama stands first at 62.42 grams — fourth by volume and first per person — with the Dominican Republic at 60.74, Egypt at 40.52, Haiti at 35.58, Sao Tome and Principe at 32.03, Bhutan at 26.76, Comoros at 23.91, Lesotho at 18.57, the Marshall Islands at 8.31 and Oman at 7.89 behind.

The Dominican Republic Added 251,200 From Zero

The common total moved from 2,159,990 tonnes to 2,275,086, up 115,096 tonnes or 5.3 percent across 31 reporters. The Dominican Republic added 251,200 tonnes from a reported 2019 zero — 218.3 percent of the net increase — while Egypt fell 168,448 (down 9.0 percent); Panama added 40,278 (up 65.7 percent) and Oman 12,743 (up 705.6 percent), with Rwanda adding 5,806 (up 199.1 percent), Qatar 3,772 (up 212.4 percent) and Lesotho 2,492 (up 18.9 percent); Haiti fell 27,817 (down 15.5 percent). Pakistan's 48,396 tonnes left the comparison; six reporters entered with 1,546 tonnes between them.

2022 to 2023: Up 8.7 Percent

The common total rose from 2,094,160 tonnes to 2,276,494, up 182,334 tonnes or 8.7 percent across 35 reporters. Egypt added 193,960 tonnes (up 12.9 percent), with Oman adding 6,817 (up 88.2 percent), the Dominican Republic 6,760 (up 2.8 percent) and Rwanda 2,370 (up 37.3 percent); Haiti fell 16,833 (down 10.0 percent), with Panama down 3,240 (down 3.1 percent), Kuwait down 2,511 (down 30.2 percent) and Gambia down 2,162 (down 80.0 percent).

What Does Centrifugal Raw Sugar Cover?

The FAO item covers raw cane or beet sugar, centrifugal only — crystallized raw sugar, not refined and not non-centrifugal grades, which fall elsewhere. Food supply quantity captures what was available for human consumption during the reference year. The gram-per-day figure spreads that availability across the population on a daily basis.

Centrifugal Raw Sugar Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

Egypt had the largest 2023 listed supply of centrifugal raw sugar at 1,693,960 tonnes, while Panama had the highest per-capita figure at 62.42 grams per person per day. The 2023 listed total was 2,276,632 tonnes across 37 reporters, up 5.3 percent on a common-reporter basis since 2019. These figures record food available for human consumption, not amounts actually eaten.

Methodology

Thirty-eight reporters with a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 form the file, and the tables list reporters only: World, regional and China (aggregate) rows are excluded, with China standing for the China reporter. The earlier endpoint year bases all percentages across reporters present in both years. Zero-base years yield no percentage, and small-base percentages should be read with the base alongside.

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity, element 5141 in tonnes for totals and element 665 in grams per capita per day, tracks centrifugal raw sugar over 2019-2023. The measured quantity is availability for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Zero reports zero; blank reports nothing. The 2023 listed total of 2,276,632 tonnes sums the 37 reporters with a 2023 value, in tonnes as published.
