Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
What share of green chilli and pepper supply came from China?
China accounted for 47.0 percent of the listed green chilli and pepper supply in 2023, well ahead of Indonesia in second place at nearly half of the total.
What moved the latest total?
Mexico added 983,555 tonnes, up 83.4 percent, exceeding the 847,414-tonne net gain, with Algeria adding 116,868 behind it against Chinese and Egyptian falls, and Oman adding 69,757.
How did five years net out?
Indonesia added 433,104 tonnes and China 395,378, together covering nearly half of the 1,777,162-tonne net gain, with Mexico adding 328,706 and Türkiye 314,891 behind them.
Who led per person?
North Macedonia, at 308.16 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Tunisia at 94.09, while China, despite leading the volume ranking, recorded 31.05 grams per person per day.
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.
