Dried Egg Consumption by Country
China accounted for 180,235 tonnes of dried egg food supply in 2023, equal to 62.0 percent of the listed country total. India ranked second at 18,577 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 8,992 tonnes. The ranking changes on a per-person basis: Denmark led at 2.39 grams per day. Across 151 country entries, the listed 2023 total was 290,526 tonnes, with 128 nonzero records. The figures come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts for 2019-2023 and measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
China's lead was unusually large: China, India and the United Kingdom together accounted for 71.5 percent of the listed 2023 total. This concentration is visible in total tonnage, but the per-person ranking tells a different story. Denmark led that measure despite having a much smaller national total than China. The Netherlands recorded the sharpest latest-year decline, falling from 2,850 tonnes in 2022 to just 8.71 tonnes in 2023, a decrease of 99.7 percent. Italy also dropped sharply, from 1,571 to 257.29 tonnes. Belgium moved in the opposite direction, adding 2,296 tonnes, while Poland rose from 232.07 to 3,134 tonnes and the United States increased from 114.95 to 5,590 tonnes. These changes describe reported food-supply values; they do not by themselves explain why the figures changed. The 144 countries with reported values in both years rose from 282,160 tonnes to 290,526 tonnes, up 8,366 tonnes, or 3.0 percent. Saint Kitts and Nevis and Sierra Leone first reported values in 2023. Among countries with values reported in both 2019 and 2023, the listed total rose from 259,665 to 290,405 tonnes, an increase of 30,740 tonnes or 11.8 percent. China added 9,155 tonnes, while India increased by 4,686 tonnes. The United States rose from 16.06 to 5,590 tonnes, an increase of about 5,574 tonnes. By contrast, the United Kingdom declined by 1,528 tonnes, Spain by 740 tonnes and the Philippines by 685.8 tonnes. The comparison uses the same reporting countries at both endpoints. Belize, Cuba, Gambia, Georgia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines reported values in 2019 but not in 2023, while Grenada, Guyana, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates first reported values in the window. Denmark led the 2023 per-person ranking at 2.39 grams per day. Belgium followed at 1.42 grams, and the Marshall Islands ranked third at 1.07 grams. Estonia placed fourth at 0.81 grams, followed by Ireland at 0.73 and Czechia at 0.72 grams per day. China led total tonnage but recorded 0.35 grams per person per day, illustrating how national volume and population-adjusted supply measure different things. The dataset reports dried egg food supply in tonnes and grams per person per day for 2019-2023. National tonnage shows the total quantity recorded for human consumption, while the per-person measure adjusts that quantity for population. Neither measure represents a direct survey of what people ate. Reported zeroes remain part of the dataset, whereas blank cells indicate missing values. A zero or a sharp year-to-year change should not automatically be interpreted as proof that a country's supply or consumption activity stopped. The source is FAOSTAT's Supply Utilization Accounts. Element 5141 reports food supply quantity in tonnes, while element 665 reports food supply quantity in grams per capita per day. The 2023 listed total sums the reported country entries for that year, excluding aggregate regions. Year-to-year comparisons include only countries with reported values at both endpoints. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated when that base is zero. Reported zeroes are retained, while blank cells are treated as missing. Values below 1,000 tonnes are displayed to two decimal places where applicable.

How much of the listed 2023 total came from China?
China accounted for 62.0 percent of the 290,526-tonne listed total in the same listed table that year, with India second and the United Kingdom third overall.
Which country had the largest reported decline from 2022 to 2023?

China recorded the largest increase in the listed figures, adding 9,155 tonnes between the two years in the comparison group over the five-year comparison period.
