Ginger, Raw Consumption by Country
India had the largest reported ginger food supply in 2023, at 1,522,654 tonnes, accounting for 43.8 percent of the listed country total. Nigeria ranked second at 668,339 tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 162,227 tonnes. On a per-person basis, Guyana led with 51.94 grams per day, well ahead of Nepal at 10.04 grams. These FAO figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Bangladesh placed fourth at 144,164 tonnes, with China fifth at 115,537 and Nepal sixth at 108,803. The United States, Thailand, Pakistan and Malaysia closed the top ten between 61,253 and 88,671 tonnes. The top three held 67.7 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top five 75.2 percent. India had the highest listed food supply, while Guyana had the highest per-capita food supply. Indonesia lost 81,665 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 33.5 percent to 162,227 tonnes. Bangladesh lost 26,851 tonnes, down 15.7 percent. Nigeria shed 20,054 tonnes, down 2.9 percent. Sri Lanka gave up 11,278 tonnes, down 17.2 percent. India added 69,429 tonnes, up 4.8 percent. China added 46,029 tonnes, up 66.2 percent. The Netherlands added 10,621 tonnes, up 60.8 percent. Nepal added 9,176 tonnes, up 9.2 percent. The 168 countries present in both years eased from 3,527,997 tonnes to 3,475,587 tonnes, down 52,410 tonnes, or 1.5 percent, with no entries or exits. Between 2019 and 2023, the 164 countries present in both years climbed from 3,051,197 tonnes to 3,475,438 tonnes, up 424,241 tonnes, or 13.9 percent. India added 189,788 tonnes, up 14.2 percent, accounting for 44.7 percent of the net gain. Nigeria added 110,339 tonnes, up 19.8 percent. China added 109,261 tonnes from 6,276. Sri Lanka added 39,524 tonnes from 14,581. The United States added 27,779 tonnes, up 45.6 percent. The Netherlands added 16,972 tonnes, up 152.7 percent. Bangladesh lost 37,083 tonnes, down 20.5 percent. Indonesia shed 19,099 tonnes, down 10.5 percent. One country left with 3 tonnes, against four arrivals with 149. Guyana's 51.94 grams a day dwarfed Nepal's 10.04 in second. Nigeria sat third at 8.04 grams, with Bhutan at 6.97 and Qatar at 6.58. Sri Lanka, Macau, Malaysia, Fiji and the Netherlands followed below 6.5 grams. India, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten. Raw ginger 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. India's reported supply recovered after a decline in 2020 and rose through 2023, while Indonesia's supply fluctuated more sharply. The per-person figure shows the amount available for human consumption relative to population; it does not measure actual intake or cooking habits. China's 1,740.9 percent five-year rate divides by 6,276 tonnes. Sri Lanka's 271.1 percent rate divides by 14,581 tonnes the same way. Indonesia's latest fall ends far above zero. Rwanda fell to 38.88 tonnes in 2023 from 7,105 tonnes in 2022, and Ivory Coast to a reported zero from 6.88 tonnes, so those moves merit checking against the source. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts enter tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for raw ginger across 2019-2023. Percentages rest on the earlier year, and no percentage is stated from a zero base. The dataset contains 169 countries minus aggregates, 168 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 3,475,587 tonnes is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

How Indian is the table?
Strongly Indian: India held 43.8 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top three together reached 67.7 percent of reported supply overall.
How much did Indonesia lose lately?
Indonesia lost 81,665 tonnes, down 33.5 percent in the latest year to 162,227 tonnes, the deepest single latest-year loss among all countries in the file.
