What Does Chestnuts Consumption Measure?

In this FAO dataset, chestnuts consumption refers to the quantity of chestnuts in shell available for human consumption during the reference year, not the amount people actually eat. The tonnes figure measures total food supply, while grams per person per day expresses the same supply relative to population. Chestnuts are recorded as a separate FAO food item rather than being combined with other nuts.

Chestnuts Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

China's 1,358,002 tonnes beat Spain's 164,984 for the largest 2023 listed chestnuts supply — 71.4 percent of 1,902,543 tonnes across 133 reporters. Bolivia came third at 77,965 tonnes. Bolivia's 17.45 grams a day topped the per-person list. What is counted is food available for human consumption, not chestnuts actually eaten.

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 chestnuts 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 — 147 of them held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World and regional aggregate rows excluded; China is retained as the China reporter. Tonnes stand as FAO published them, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 1,902,543 tonnes adds the 133 reporters with a 2023 value.
