What a 724,005-Tonne Fall Looks Like

• India's 724,005-tonne fall was larger than the 701,351-tonne net decrease because other reporters added to the total.
• Myanmar's five-year slide ran to 85.6 percent, down 167,785 tonnes.
• Tanzania went from zero in 2022 to 57,172 tonnes a year later.
• Malawi pairs second place by volume with first per person at 27.86 grams.
• Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kyrgyzstan entered the latest window at 0.05 and 16.07 tonnes.

One Report Holds Nearly Nine-Tenths

India's 3,303,192 tonnes cover 87.9 percent of the 3,756,640-tonne listed total; Malawi follows at 214,614 and Kenya at 87,240. Tanzania holds fourth at 57,172 with Myanmar fifth at 28,234. The top three reach 96.0 percent, the top five 98.2 percent and the top ten 99.6 percent. Malawi's 27.86 grams a day per person come from second place by volume, with Grenada at 8.1 and India at 6.29 behind.

Myanmar Down 85.6 Percent in Five Years

Seventy-three reporters bridge 2019 and 2023: their combined figure went from 4,025,723 tonnes to 3,755,715 — a 270,008-tonne, 6.7 percent retreat. Six reporters holding zero 2019 values departed while twenty-three joined with 925 tonnes between them, Colombia biggest at 800.19 tonnes. Myanmar gave up 167,785 tonnes (85.6 percent down) and India 86,619 (2.6 percent down), with Tanzania off 28,885 (33.6 percent down); Malawi put on 18,476 (9.4 percent up) and Kenya 14,915 (20.6 percent up), while Haiti came off 14,977 (80.2 percent down) and Uganda 1,546 (12.1 percent down), with the United Arab Emirates off 1,608 (50.2 percent down).

2023 Fell 15.7 Percent as India Lost 724,005 Tonnes

Ninety-four reporters bridge 2022 and 2023: 4,457,975 tonnes became 3,756,624 — a 701,351-tonne, 15.7 percent retreat, with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kyrgyzstan joining at 0.05 and 16.07 tonnes and nobody departing. India gave up 724,005 tonnes (18.0 percent down) while Tanzania put on 57,172 from zero; Myanmar came off 39,520 (58.3 percent down) and Malawi put on 32,061 (17.6 percent up), with Kenya off 18,516 (17.5 percent down), Nepal 5,300 (38.4 percent down) and Colombia 2,386 (74.9 percent down), while the United Arab Emirates fell 1,539 (49.2 percent down).

Pigeon Peas Apart From Other Pulses

Dry pigeon peas stand as their own FAO item — separate from the rest of the pulses, which never enter these figures. Counted is food available for human consumption in the reference year; daily grams per person slice the same supply by population.

Dry Pigeon Peas Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

India's 3,303,192 tonnes dwarfed Malawi's 214,614 for the largest 2023 listed dry-pigeon-peas supply — 87.9 percent of 3,756,640 tonnes across 96 reporters. Kenya stood third at 87,240 tonnes. Malawi's 27.86 grams a day led the per-person ranking. Counted here is food available for human consumption, not pigeon peas actually eaten.

Methodology

Dividing by the earlier endpoint year gives every percentage here, across reporters holding values in both years. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts provide the tonnes (element 5141, food supply quantity) and the daily grams per person (element 665) — for pigeon peas, dry, 2019 through 2023. What gets counted is supply available for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing.

Only reporters reach the tables — 109 held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — leaving World, regional and China (aggregate) rows out; China is the China reporter. Tonnes stand as FAO published them, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 3,756,640 tonnes adds the 96 reporters with a 2023 value.
