Dry Starchy Roots Consumption by Country

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts record dried edible roots and tubers not elsewhere classified available for human consumption, in tonnes and in grams per person per day, from 2019 through 2023. The file covers five reporters, all with a 2023 value, adding to a listed total of 13,046 tonnes — every tonne of it reported by the United States.

The United States reported 13,046 tonnes in 2023, the only nonzero value in the table, at 0.10 grams per person per day.

Three Facts From a Five-Reporter Table

• The United States grew from 1,237 tonnes in 2019 to 13,046 in 2023.
• Chile fell from 304.66 tonnes in 2022 to zero in 2023.
• Three other reporters show only zeros; the 2023 total is American alone.

The United States Grew More Than Tenfold

The United States reported 1,237 tonnes in 2019 and 13,046 in 2023, up 11,809 tonnes or 954.6 percent; the 2022-to-2023 step alone added 6,785 tonnes (up 108.4 percent). Chile moved the other way, from 184.61 tonnes in 2019 and 304.66 in 2022 to zero in 2023. Guyana, Mauritania and Venezuela report only zeros in 2023. Across the four reporters present in both 2019 and 2023, the total moved from 1,421.61 tonnes to 13,046, up 11,624.39 tonnes.

What Does This Residual Basket Cover?

The FAO item gathers dried edible roots and tubers with high starch or inulin content that fit no other item. With a single nonzero reporter, there is no ranking to read here — only the American series and Chile's exit to zero. Food supply quantity captures what was available for human consumption during the reference year. The gram-per-day figure spreads that availability across the population on a daily basis.

Dry Starchy Roots Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

The United States reported 13,046 tonnes in 2023, the only nonzero value among five reporters. The 2023 listed total was 13,046 tonnes. Chile fell from 304.66 tonnes in 2022 to zero in 2023. These figures record food available for human consumption, not amounts actually eaten.

Methodology

Five reporters form the whole universe, each with a 2023 value; the tables show reporters only, with no aggregate, regional or world rows. Percentages use the earlier endpoint year as base; zero-base years get no percentage. Zero reports zero and blank reports nothing.

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity, element 5141 in tonnes for totals and element 665 in grams per capita per day, follows this residual dried item over 2019-2023. The object counted is availability for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. The 2023 listed total of 13,046 tonnes equals the United States figure, in tonnes as published.
