Groundnuts Consumption by Country

FAO Food Balances data record 27,670 thousand tonnes of listed groundnuts food supply in 2023 across 176 reporters with reported values. China accounts for 10,788 thousand tonnes of that total, ahead of India at 5,139 thousand tonnes and Nigeria at 1,867 thousand tonnes. Niger records the highest per-capita food supply at 14.66 kilograms per person per year. The series spans 2019 through 2023, although some reporters have missing values in individual years.

China leads the 2023 ranking at 10,788 thousand tonnes, 2.10 times India's 5,139 thousand tonnes. Niger tops the per-capita ranking at 14.66 kilograms per person per year from 384 thousand tonnes, just ahead of Gabon at 12.46 kilograms.

Groundnuts Food Supply at a Glance

• India ranked second at 5,139 thousand tonnes, followed by Nigeria at 1,867 thousand tonnes.
• Niger had the highest per-capita food supply at 14.66 kilograms per person per year.
• The 2023 listed total was 27,670 thousand tonnes across 176 reporters with reported values.
• Among 176 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed groundnuts food supply increased by 2,353 thousand tonnes, or 9.3 percent.
• The FAO Food element measures food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

Key Takeaways

In 2023, China led listed groundnuts food supply at 10,788 thousand tonnes, with India second at 5,139 thousand tonnes and Nigeria third at 1,867 thousand tonnes. The United States followed at 1,611 thousand tonnes after a 26.8 percent single-year rebound, with Indonesia fifth at 1,014 thousand tonnes. Niger's 14.66 kilograms per person per year lead the per-capita ranking, followed by Gabon at 12.46 kilograms.

Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 176 reporters with data in both years rose from 26,451 thousand tonnes to 27,670 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,219 thousand tonnes (4.6 percent), with China, the United States and India adding a combined 1,455 thousand tonnes. Since 2019, the common-reporter total has grown 9.3 percent, with China and India adding near-identical amounts. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of groundnuts actually eaten.

Groundnuts Consumption by Country in 2023

China holds 10,788 thousand tonnes, or 39.0 percent of the 27,670-thousand-tonne listed total. India follows at 5,139 thousand tonnes (18.6 percent) and Nigeria at 1,867 thousand tonnes (6.7 percent), with the United States fourth at 1,611 thousand tonnes and Indonesia fifth at 1,014 thousand tonnes.

The top three reporters hold 64.3 percent of the listed total, the top five 73.8 percent and the top ten 79.9 percent. The top three reporters account for 64.3 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 73.8 percent and the top ten account for 79.9 percent. Groundnuts are treated as a separate food item in the FAO Food Balances classification used for this table.

China, the United States and India Add 1,455 Thousand Tonnes Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 176 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 26,451 thousand tonnes to 27,670 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,219 thousand tonnes (4.6 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 176 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. China added 786 thousand tonnes (up 7.9 percent), the United States added 340 thousand tonnes (up 26.8 percent), India added 329 thousand tonnes (up 6.8 percent) and Nigeria added 68 thousand tonnes (up 3.8 percent), while Tanzania fell 213 thousand tonnes (down 39.7 percent), Indonesia fell 121 thousand tonnes (down 10.7 percent), Uganda fell 110 thousand tonnes (down 52.4 percent) and Argentina fell 76 thousand tonnes (down 85.4 percent).

China and India Recorded Similar Increases Since 2019

For the 176 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 25,317 thousand tonnes to 27,670 thousand tonnes, a gain of 2,353 thousand tonnes (9.3 percent). The 2019 total includes 177 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 176; Cuba, with 1 thousand tonne in 2019, had no reported 2023 value. China added 823 thousand tonnes (up 8.3 percent) and India added 815 thousand tonnes (up 18.8 percent), contributing 35.0 and 34.6 percent of the net increase respectively. The United States added 205 thousand tonnes (up 14.6 percent), Burkina Faso added 108 thousand tonnes (up 78.3 percent), Vietnam added 86 thousand tonnes (up 29.2 percent) and Ethiopia added 81 thousand tonnes (up 385.7 percent), while Indonesia fell 173 thousand tonnes (down 14.6 percent) and Mexico fell 79 thousand tonnes (down 25.4 percent).

China and India recorded almost the same net increase over the five-year period: 823 thousand tonnes for China and 815 thousand tonnes for India. Per capita, Niger 's 14.66 kilograms from 384 thousand tonnes lead Gabon at 12.46 kilograms, while China, first by total, records 7.58 kilograms and India 3.57 kilograms.

What Does Groundnuts Consumption Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the groundnuts figure used here is the amount of groundnuts recorded under the Food element. It represents food available for human consumption during the reference year, rather than a direct estimate of how much groundnuts people actually consumed. Groundnuts are classified separately from other nuts, so this table complements rather than overlaps the nuts table.

The per-capita figure expresses the same food supply on a population basis, in kilograms per person per year. A country's total quantity and per-capita value therefore answer different questions: total quantity shows the size of the listed food supply, while the per-capita measure adjusts it for population.

Quick Answer

In 2023, China had the largest listed groundnuts food supply among the 176 reporters with reported values, at 10,788 thousand tonnes. India ranked second at 5,139 thousand tonnes, followed by Nigeria at 1,867 thousand tonnes. Niger had the highest per-capita groundnuts food supply at 14.66 kilograms per person per year, while Gabon ranked second at 12.46 kilograms.

These figures come from the FAO Food Balances and describe food available for human consumption rather than the amount of groundnuts actually eaten. The dataset covers 2019 through 2023, with some reporter-year observations missing.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Food Balances food quantity (Element 5142, thousand tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 645, kg/capita/year) for Groundnuts from 2019 through 2023. The Food element represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the quantity actually eaten, as additional losses or waste may occur after food reaches the consumer.

The reporter universe contains 177 reporters. The tables list reporters only; aggregate rows such as World, regions and China (aggregate) are excluded, while China figures refer to the China reporter. For year-to-year comparisons, only reporters with values in both endpoint years are included in the arithmetic. A zero indicates a displayed value of zero, while an empty cell indicates that no value is available for that reporter and year.

Quantities of 1,000 thousand tonnes and above are shown as whole numbers; smaller quantities retain up to two decimals. FAO Food Balances primarily use official national statistics, with some data also estimated or imputed where applicable. The FAO dataset reports the Food element in thousand tonnes and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year. The 2023 listed total of 27,670 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 176 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
