Hydrogenated Oils and Fats Consumption by Country

Canada recorded the largest hydrogenated oils and fats food supply in 2023, at 147,859 tonnes, or about 21.8 percent of the listed total. Algeria ranked second at 89,415 tonnes, followed by Vietnam at 40,452 tonnes and Egypt at 30,991 tonnes. Canada also led per person at 10.31 grams a day, ahead of Sweden at 7.92 grams. The listed 2023 total was 678,297 tonnes, and 77 of the 80 country rows reported a value for that year, 73 of them above zero. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Which Countries Lead Hydrogenated Oils and Fats Food Supply?

In 2023, Canada recorded the highest reported quantity of hydrogenated oils and fats at 147,859 tonnes. Algeria ranked second at 89,415 tonnes, followed by Vietnam at 40,452 tonnes. Canada also ranked first per person at 10.31 grams a day. The country with the highest total quantity also leads on a per-capita basis here, so the two measures agree in this table, although they should still be compared separately. These figures describe reported food supply, not the amount people actually consumed.

The three leading countries together accounted for about 40.9 percent of the listed 2023 total, with Canada alone supplying roughly 21.8 percent.

• Afghanistan recorded the largest decline by tonnage in the latest year.
• South Africa lost more than four-fifths of its 2022 level.
• Yemen recorded the largest percentage increase from a small base.
• Vietnam added 18,772 tonnes, up 86.6 percent.

Afghanistan Records the Largest Annual Decline

Afghanistan lost 24,696 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 47.7 percent to 27,025 tonnes. Australia lost 15,846 tonnes, down 54.3 percent, and South Africa shed 15,278 tonnes, down 82.7 percent, to 3,202 tonnes. Algeria added 14,196 tonnes, up 18.9 percent, Yemen added 14,258 tonnes, up 1,146.7 percent, and Vietnam added 18,772 tonnes, up 86.6 percent. The 74 countries with a value in both years rose from 630,813 tonnes to 678,248 tonnes, up 47,435 tonnes, or 7.5 percent, with the Marshall Islands, Myanmar and Saint Lucia joining and none leaving.

Sweden Adds the Most Over Five Years

Between 2019 and 2023, the 70 countries with a value in both years rose from 590,932 tonnes to 677,688 tonnes, up 86,756 tonnes, or 14.7 percent. Sweden added the most, at 30,491 tonnes from a reported 2019 zero, so no percentage is calculated for that country. Vietnam added 25,180 tonnes, up 164.9 percent, and Algeria added 14,488 tonnes, up 19.3 percent. Afghanistan recorded the largest decline, losing 23,217 tonnes, down 46.2 percent, while Australia shed 20,985 tonnes, down 61.2 percent, and DR Congo gave up 12,953 tonnes, down 72.2 percent. Seven countries entered the comparison with 2023 values and no 2019 value, while Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Micronesia left it.

Canada Leads Hydrogenated Oils Supply per Person

Canada recorded 10.31 grams a day in 2023, ahead of Sweden at 7.92 grams in second and El Salvador at 6.36 grams in third. Uruguay sat fourth at 6.34 grams, with Costa Rica at 5.87 grams.

What the Hydrogenated Oils Data Measures

Hydrogenated oils and fats available for human consumption are recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only, and the listed total is not a world figure that includes regional aggregates. Total tonnage shows the scale of reported food supply, while grams per person per day adjust the figures for population size.

Four countries reported zero tonnes in 2023: Cape Verde after 10.36 tonnes in 2022, Montenegro after 55.3 tonnes, Oman, and Saudi Arabia after 4,757 tonnes. A reported zero is a recorded value and a blank cell is missing data, so the three rows without a 2023 value cannot be read as zero supply.

Methodology

The data come from FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts, using element 5141 for food supply quantity in tonnes and element 665 for food supply quantity in grams per capita per day, for hydrogenated oils and fats, over 2019-2023. Of the 80 country rows, 77 reported a value in 2023 and 73 of those were above zero. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 74 countries for 2022-2023 and 70 for 2019-2023, and the country count and both totals come from that shared set. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated when that base is zero. Reported zeros are kept as values, blank cells are treated as missing data, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimal places.
