Cereal Preparations Consumption by Country

Cereal preparations belong to no one: China's 160,259 tonnes lead a 1,458,271-tonne listed total at just 11 percent, and the ten largest reporters together hold barely half. The two windows point in opposite directions — 2022 to 2023 fell 6.4 percent as Argentina reappeared from zero with 54,990 tonnes and Russia sank to 588, while 2019 to 2023 rose 3.6 percent as Belgium climbed from 4,198 to 56,981 tonnes and Indonesia lost 97.5 percent. Cyprus records the highest per-person figure at 36.09 grams per day.

Cereal Preparations Consumption

Volume and per-capita orders share no names at the top: Cyprus at 36.09 grams per day, Georgia at 23.46, Ireland and the Netherlands tied at 21.73 — while none of the five largest totals cracks the per-capita top five.

Reading This Scattered Table

  • Leader China holds 11.0 percent of the 1,458,271-tonne listed total — no country dominates.
  • The Netherlands (143,523 tonnes) and Mexico (117,824) trail China closely.
  • Cyprus leads per person at 36.09 grams a day; Ireland and the Netherlands tie at 21.73.
  • 164 reporters carry a 2023 value; the total fell 6.4 percent in a year but stands 3.6 percent above 2019 on a common-reporter basis.
  • FAO supply figures track availability for human consumption; actual intake is measured differently.

Key Takeaways

Fragmentation is the whole story: China, the Netherlands and Mexico — the top three — hold 28.9 percent between them. The United States (71,721 tonnes) and Belgium (56,981) fill out a top five that still leaves almost two thirds of supply elsewhere.

That leaves 154 reporters outside the top ten carrying 45.3 percent of the total between them. The top ten hold 54.7 percent.

The 6.4 percent single-year fall came from five large declines against four large gains, with Argentina rebounding from zero to 54,990 tonnes. Across five years Belgium rose from 4,198 to 56,981 tonnes and Georgia from 644 to 32,597, while Indonesia fell 97.5 percent and Germany 74.1 percent.

A Market With No Leader

China's 160,259 tonnes top the table, with the Netherlands at 143,523 and Mexico at 117,824 close behind - a 16,736-tonne gap between first and second in a 1.46-million-tonne market.

The top three reporters accounted for 28.9 percent of the listed total, the top five 37.7 percent and the top ten 54.7 percent. Per capita, Cyprus's 36.09 grams per person per day leads Georgia at 23.46 grams.

2022 to 2023: Five Falls, Four Gains

Among the 164 reporters with reported values in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply decreased from 1,558,569 tonnes to 1,458,271 tonnes, a decline of 100,298 tonnes (6.4 percent). The two years share the same 164 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. Chile fell 66,582 tonnes (down 59.8 percent), Russia fell 63,103 tonnes (down 99.1 percent), Mexico fell 37,539 tonnes (down 24.2 percent), Thailand fell 32,601 tonnes (down 41.7 percent) and Romania fell 29,869 tonnes (down 100.0 percent).

On the gaining side, Argentina added 54,990 tonnes from a reported zero, Belgium added 33,805 tonnes (up 145.9 percent), Laos added 29,954 tonnes (up 214.0 percent) and the Netherlands added 20,583 tonnes (up 40.4 percent). Chile's fall from 111,402 to 44,820 tonnes against a net decline of 100,298 accounts for most of it, with Russia, Mexico, Thailand and Romania adding the next-largest falls.

2019 to 2023: Belgium Up From 4,198 Tonnes

For the 160 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 1,406,772 tonnes to 1,457,767 tonnes, a gain of 50,995 tonnes (3.6 percent). The 2019 universe includes 161 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 universe includes 164; Cuba, with 831 tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value, while four reporters with a combined 505 tonnes entered, led by Afghanistan at 504 tonnes. The United States fell 55,337 tonnes (down 43.6 percent), Indonesia fell 51,295 tonnes (down 97.5 percent), Germany fell 34,095 tonnes (down 74.1 percent), Mexico fell 30,524 tonnes (down 20.6 percent) and Ukraine fell 31,143 tonnes (down 80.7 percent).

On the gaining side, Belgium added 52,783 tonnes from 4,198 tonnes, Chile added 39,117 tonnes (up 685.9 percent) and Georgia added 31,953 tonnes from 644 tonnes. Indonesia's fall from 52,595 tonnes to 1,300 removed nearly all of its 2019 supply.

What Counts as Cereal Preparations Supply?

Cereal preparations supply counts what was available for human consumption during the reference period — not the amount actually eaten by consumers.

The per-capita value expresses this reported food supply in population terms, showing how much was available per person per day. Cyprus records the highest value at 36.09 grams.

Cereal Preparations Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

China recorded the largest 2023 listed supply of cereal preparations at 160,259 tonnes — 11.0 percent of a 1,458,271-tonne listed total across 164 reporters. Cyprus had the highest per-capita figure at 36.09 grams per person per day. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.

Methodology

Year-to-year comparisons here 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 cereal preparations, 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 165 reporters in total, reporters only: World, regional and China (aggregate) rows are left out entirely, so China here means the China reporter. The 1,458,271-tonne listed total adds the 164 reporters with a 2023 value, in tonnes exactly as FAO reports them, without extra rounding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did Argentina and Belgium move against the single-year fall?

Argentina added 54,990 tonnes from a reported zero while Belgium, Laos and the Netherlands added 84,342 tonnes together, against five large falls led by Chile's 66,582. The figures record each move without attributing causes.

What lifted Belgium and Georgia from tiny bases?

Belgium reported 4,198 tonnes in 2019 and 56,981 in 2023; Georgia went from 644 to 32,597 tonnes. Small-base multiples look dramatic while the tonnages stay modest.

Is this supply the same as food actually eaten?

No. The FAO measure counts food available for human consumption; it does not directly record how much people ate.
