The 115 countries present in both 2022 and 2023 saw their supply ease from 47,652 tonnes, a 6.1 percent decrease worth 2,919 tonnes. Canada alone was responsible for 55.0 percent of that drop, falling 1,606 tonnes; Thailand gave up 1,174 tonnes, Serbia 577 and Russia 440. Offsetting the slide, Ukraine climbed 602 tonnes (438.5 percent up), Poland 523 and Vietnam 526.

Hazelnuts Over the Whole Period

Of the 108 countries with data in both 2019 and 2023, the group's supply grew by 5,988 tonnes, or 15.5 percent, reaching 44,721 from 38,733. Canada's 4,221-tonne retreat offset 70.5 percent of that advance; Serbia drove 50.3 percent and Poland 46.9 percent. Thailand gained 1,022 tonnes and Germany 891. Seven countries exited and nine arrived, Bhutan the largest with 11.44 tonnes.

How Hazelnuts Rank Per Person

Serbia's 3.11 grams a day stood well above the field, followed by Kyrgyzstan at 1.41 and Croatia at 1.32. Iran, largest by tonnage, placed only fourth at 0.39 grams, with Poland at 0.37 and Belarus at 0.36 close behind.

What the Hazelnuts Table Measures

Hazelnuts in shell stand as one FAO item, tracked separately from shelled nuts and from other tree crops. Each value is a reference-year supply figure, and the grams-per-person column restates that same supply for each resident.

A Sharp Fall and a Divergence in Hazelnuts

Canada's supply shrank from 4,844 tonnes in 2021 to 111.76 in 2023, a swing unmatched in the table. At the other end, Vietnam's five-year gain of 24,035 percent began from just 2.29 tonnes. Iran showed the widest gap between the two measures, first by volume and only fourth per person.

Methodology

Tonnes here are FAO's food supply quantity for hazelnuts in shell, drawn from element 5141; the grams per person per day come from element 665, and both span 2019 to 2023. Change figures divide by the earlier year, and a base of zero leaves no percentage to report. Only countries holding a value in both years enter a comparison, so entrants and leavers do not distort a change. A cell reading zero is a reported zero; a blank cell is a missing report, and the two are never treated alike. What the numbers describe is food available for human consumption, with no allowance for household waste or losses, so they sit above the amount people eat. Reporters are 127 in all, with World, regions and the China aggregate removed and China kept as a single row; 117 carry a 2023 value and feed the 2023 yearly total.
