Burkina Faso at 28.5 Percent; Zimbabwe Close Per Person

Burkina Faso opens the 2023 table at 48,008 tonnes (28.5 percent of 168,616), Niger at 33,917 and Zimbabwe at 33,070. Cameroon and DR Congo follow at 31,839 and 12,937 tonnes. The top three hold 68.2 percent, the top five 94.8 percent and the top ten 99.7 percent. Burkina Faso's per-person figure of 5.71 grams a day comes from first place by volume, with Zimbabwe at 5.54 and Niger at 3.55 behind.

Five Years Up 10.0 Percent on Niger's Gain

The 47 reporters present in both 2019 and 2023 moved from 146,317 tonnes to 160,981 — up 14,664 tonnes, or 10.0 percent. Seven reporters left with 260 tonnes between them, led by Romania at 228.94 tonnes, while twenty-two entered with 7,634 — led by Zambia at 7,294 tonnes.

Zimbabwe fell 4,388 tonnes (down 11.7 percent) and Burkina Faso 1,992 (down 4.0 percent), while Zambia added 1,465 (up 25.1 percent) and Cameroon 944 (up 3.1 percent); Niger fell 429 (down 1.2 percent) and DR Congo added 400 (up 3.2 percent), with Nepal falling 213 to zero and South Africa adding 139 (up 226.4 percent).

Bambara Beans Apart From Other Pulses

Dry bambara beans are reported as a separate FAO item rather than being combined with other pulses in these figures. The measure covers food available for human consumption in the reference year; daily grams per person express the same supply relative to population.

Dry Bambara Beans Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

Burkina Faso recorded the largest 2023 listed dry-bambara-beans supply at 48,008 tonnes, followed by Niger at 33,917 and Zimbabwe at 33,070. Burkina Faso accounted for 28.5 percent of the 168,616 tonnes reported across 69 reporters and also had the highest listed supply per person at 5.71 grams a day. What is counted is food available for human consumption, not bambara beans actually eaten.

Methodology

Percentage changes between years use the earlier year as the base and include only 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 bambara beans, dry, 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 — 77 of them held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows left out; China is the China reporter. Tonnes stand as FAO published them, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 168,616 tonnes adds the 69 reporters with a 2023 value.
