How Dried Chilli Supply Changed from 2019 to 2023

Between 2019 and 2023, the 169 countries present in both years surged from 3,559,106 tonnes to 4,925,762 tonnes, up 1,366,656 tonnes, or 38.4 percent.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Spices Chillies and Peppers, Dry (Capsicum Spp., Pimenta Spp.), Raw per Person

Bosnia and Herzegovina's 20.4 grams a day edged Jamaica's 17.73, with Thailand third at 15.26 and Ivory Coast fourth at 10.99. Bangladesh sat fifth at 10.02 grams, with Ghana at 8.11 and Nepal at 7.55. Cape Verde, Myanmar and North Macedonia followed below 7.6 grams. India, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten.

Understanding the Dried Chilli and Pepper Figures

Dried chillies and peppers of Capsicum and Pimenta for human consumption are recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Two giants add over a million tonnes between them while China retreats.

South Korea's 707.2 percent increase came from a relatively small 2022 base of 2,933 tonnes, so the percentage is amplified by the low starting point. Kazakhstan's 86.3 percent rate starts near 10,000 tonnes. No reported zero followed a large value, so no source-check warning applies.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts catalogue tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for dried chillies across 2019-2023. In FAO terminology, these figures represent food available for human consumption in the supply accounts; they are not measurements of the amount actually eaten by people. Percentages consult the earlier year, and zero bases consult none. The universe spans 171 countries after aggregates are removed, 170 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who trails Bosnia and Herzegovina per person?

Bosnia and Herzegovina clearly led dried chillies per person in 2023, far above Jamaica at 17.73 grams with Thailand next at 15.26 grams a day.

What share of dried chilli supply came from India?

India alone held 38.3 percent of the annual listed consumption total (1,885,949 tonnes), and the top three together reached 59.1 percent.

How much did India add lately?

India alone added 646,197 tonnes, up by 52.1 percent in the latest year, the biggest single gain recorded among all countries in the file overall.

Is this what people actually ate?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so eaten amounts stay below supply in every case.

Which countries contributed most to the five-year increase?

India alone added 736,920 tonnes and Bangladesh alone added 466,768 tonnes, the two giants behind the net five-year gain ever recorded since 2019 overall.
