Methodology

For chillies and peppers, green, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. Mexico recorded the largest latest-year increase among the major suppliers, while North Macedonia led per person. The file holds 173 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 171 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.

Does this supply equal food eaten?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.
