Cream, Fresh Consumption by Country
In 2023, Germany had the world's largest reported fresh cream food supply, at 438,218 tonnes, followed by France at 387,014 tonnes and Italy at 307,650 tonnes. Belgium ranked first in per-capita supply, at 54.93 grams per person per day. The listed total was 3,430,287 tonnes across 155 countries with reported values. FAO food-supply figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Poland placed fourth at 288,035 tonnes, with China fifth at 264,464 and Canada sixth at 248,525. Belgium, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Spain closed the top ten between 73,580 and 234,830 tonnes. The top three held 33.0 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top five 49.1 percent. Germany had the highest listed food supply, while Belgium had the highest per-capita food supply. Germany lost 51,745 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 10.6 percent to 438,218 tonnes. Belgium lost 48,838 tonnes, down 17.2 percent. Russia shed 45,484 tonnes, down 20.2 percent. France gave up 31,957 tonnes, down 7.6 percent. Oman went from 14,893 tonnes to a reported zero. Poland added 44,272 tonnes, up 18.2 percent. Denmark added 16,203 tonnes, up 69.3 percent. Italy added 13,738 tonnes, up 4.7 percent. The 155 countries present in both years fell from 3,573,022 tonnes to 3,430,287 tonnes, down 142,735 tonnes, or 4.0 percent, with no entries or exits. Between 2019 and 2023, the 151 countries present in both years declined from 3,632,342 tonnes to 3,429,796 tonnes, down 202,546 tonnes, or 5.6 percent. France lost 109,470 tonnes, down 22.0 percent. Germany lost 81,286 tonnes, down 15.6 percent. Belgium shed 68,263 tonnes, down 22.5 percent. Sweden gave up 40,236 tonnes, down 37.6 percent. Denmark lost 22,581 tonnes, down 36.3 percent. China added 103,210 tonnes, up 64.0 percent. Poland added 45,879 tonnes, up 18.9 percent. The Netherlands went from 29,203 tonnes to a reported zero. Seven countries left with 11,931 tonnes, against four arrivals with 491. Belgium's 54.93 grams a day beat Estonia's 47.68 in second and Finland's 29.40 in third. Latvia sat fourth at 29.14 grams, with Iceland at 23.15 and Croatia at 22.58. Slovakia, Austria, Poland and Denmark followed below 22.5 grams. Germany, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten. Fresh cream for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Total tonnage reflects recorded supply; the per-person figure adjusts that supply for population size. Oman's reported value fell from 14,893 tonnes in 2022 to zero in 2023, and the Netherlands from 29,203 tonnes in 2019 to zero; those zeros merit checking against the source. China's 64.0 percent five-year gain starts at 161,254 tonnes. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts report fresh cream food supply in tonnes (element 5141) and grams per person per day (element 665) for 2019-2023. Percent changes use the earlier year's value as the base; percentage changes from zero are not calculated. The dataset covers 162 countries after aggregates are removed, with 155 reporting values in 2023. Comparisons include only countries with values at both endpoints. The 2023 total of 3,430,287 tonnes sums all countries with reported values for that year. Reported zeroes are retained, blanks are treated as missing, and values below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimal places.
