Gooseberries Consumption by Country

Russia dominated the reported food supply of gooseberries in 2023, with 85,533 tonnes, about 89.8 percent of the listed global-country total of 95,233 tonnes. Ukraine ranked second at 6,505 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 2,205 tonnes. Russia also ranked first per person, at 1.61 grams per day.

Changes from 2022 to 2023

Russia added 2,482 tonnes between 2022 and 2023. Moldova increased by 65 tonnes and Lithuania by 32 tonnes. In contrast, Qatar fell by 1,549 tonnes to 191 tonnes, while Ukraine declined by 449 tonnes to 6,505 tonnes. Lesotho recorded zero in 2023 after reporting 80 tonnes in 2022. Across the 18 countries with reported values in both years, the listed total rose from 94,753 to 95,233 tonnes, an increase of 480 tonnes, or about 0.5 percent.

Five-Year Change in Gooseberry Food Supply

For the 16 countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, the listed total rose from about 79,587 tonnes to 95,233 tonnes. Using the displayed rounded totals, that is an increase of 15,646 tonnes, or approximately 19.7 percent. Russia accounted for most of the increase, adding 17,449 tonnes, or 25.6 percent, about 111.5 percent of the net gain; its gain exceeded the net increase because declines elsewhere offset part of it. Lithuania rose by 79 tonnes, Moldova by 30 tonnes and Switzerland by 31 tonnes. Qatar declined by 999 tonnes, while Ukraine fell by 926 tonnes. Bangladesh and Saint Lucia stopped reporting values after 2019, while Niger and Timor-Leste first reported values, both zero, in 2021.

Gooseberry Food Supply per Person

Russia ranked first in 2023, followed by Ukraine at 0.47 grams per person per day. Qatar ranked third at 0.18 grams, with Lithuania at 0.16 and Switzerland at 0.14. Moldova and the United Kingdom each reported 0.09 grams per person per day. These figures describe estimated food supply per person, not measured individual consumption.

What the Data Measures

The figures come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts for gooseberries between 2019 and 2023. The dataset includes 21 countries and areas that reported a value in at least one year; 18 have a reported value for 2023. Annual totals sum the reporting countries and areas for each year, excluding aggregate rows. Comparisons across years use only countries and areas with values at both endpoints. A reported zero is retained as zero, while a blank cell indicates missing data. The figures measure food available for human consumption, not the quantity people actually ate.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts report gooseberry food supply in tonnes under element 5141 and in grams per person per day under element 665. This page covers the 2019-2023 period. Annual totals sum the reporting countries and areas with a value for the relevant year; aggregate rows are excluded. Year-to-year comparisons include only countries and areas with values in both comparison years. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated when that value is zero. Reported zeros are retained, while blank cells indicate missing values. These figures describe food available for human consumption and should not be interpreted as direct measurements of the amount people actually ate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the largest gooseberry food supply in 2023?

Russia ranked first at 85,533 tonnes in 2023, representing about 89.8 percent of the listed total in the same listed table that year, and also led per-person supply.

Which country ranked first in gooseberry food supply per person?

Russia led at 1.61 grams per person per day in 2023, followed by Ukraine at 0.47 grams per day in the same listed table that year.

How did gooseberry food supply change from 2022 to 2023?

The listed total increased by 480 tonnes, or about 0.5 percent, among the 18 countries with reported values in both years of the annual comparison.

Why can a country show zero gooseberry supply?

A reported zero is different from a blank value, which indicates missing data in the records. A zero should be read as the reported figure, not as proof that nobody consumed gooseberries.

Do FAO food-supply figures show how much gooseberry people actually eat?

No. They measure the reported food available for human consumption in the reference year and do not directly measure how much gooseberry people actually ate.
