One Exit Decides the Year

  • Hungary leads at 6,229 tonnes after rebounding 187.1 percent.
  • Nepal fell from 6,320 tonnes to zero, 128 percent of the net yearly fall.
  • Five years netted down 11.7 percent on Cambodia's exit to zero.
  • Belarus entered from nowhere to third place at 811.9 tonnes.
  • Hungary tops per person at 1.76 grams from first place by volume.

Hungary at 69.7 Percent; Nepal Gone to Zero

Hungary opens the 2023 table at 6,229 tonnes (69.7 percent of 8,938), the Dominican Republic at 1,867 and Belarus at 811.9. Malta and Haiti follow at 16.7 and 9.3 tonnes. The top three hold 99.7 percent and the top five the entire total. Per person, Hungary leads at 1.76 grams a day — first by volume and first per person — with the Dominican Republic at 0.45 and Belarus at 0.24 behind.

2022 to 2023: Down 35.6 Percent on Nepal

Across the 17 reporters with values in both 2022 and 2023, listed supply moved from 13,871 tonnes to 8,936, down 4,934 tonnes or 35.6 percent. Nepal fell 6,320 tonnes to zero — 128 percent of the net decrease — while Hungary added 4,059 (up 187.1 percent); Cambodia fell 1,342 to zero, the Dominican Republic 844 (down 31.1 percent) and Belarus 408 (down 33.5 percent), with Moldova falling 35 to zero and Russia 27 to 0.15 tonnes, while Haiti fell 9 (down 49.4 percent). Four reporters entered with 2 tonnes between them; none left.

Five Years Down 11.7 Percent Against Hungary's Rebound

For the 11 reporters with values in both 2019 and 2023, listed supply fell from 9,201 tonnes to 8,125, down 1,076 tonnes or 11.7 percent. French Polynesia and Turkmenistan left with about 1 tonne between them, while ten entered with 814 — led by Belarus at 811.9 tonnes. Cambodia fell 520 tonnes to zero and Hungary 446 (down 6.7 percent), while the Dominican Republic fell 110 (down 5.6 percent) and Moldova 20 to zero; Malta added 17 tonnes from zero and Haiti 9 (up 1,590.9 percent), with Bahrain down 3 and DR Congo down 2. Nepal, with 6,320 tonnes in 2022 and zero in 2023, sits outside both windows.

Isoglucose Among Sweeteners

The FAO item covers isoglucose as a specific food item. It is reported separately from other sugar and sweetener categories, so those categories are not added to the figures here. Food supply quantity captures what was available for human consumption during the reference year. The gram-per-day figure spreads that availability across the population on a daily basis.

Isoglucose Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

Hungary recorded the largest 2023 listed isoglucose supply at 6,229 tonnes — 69.7 percent of an 8,938-tonne listed total across 21 reporters. The Dominican Republic followed at 1,867 and Belarus at 811.9 tonnes. Hungary had the highest per-capita figure at 1.76 grams per person per day. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.

Methodology

The universe is 27 reporters, shown as reporters only: no World, regional or China (aggregate) rows, and China here denotes the China reporter. For reporters present in both endpoint years, the earlier year serves as the percentage base. A zero base gives no percentage; reported zeros count as zero, blanks as no report.

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity, tonnes) gives the country totals and element 665 (grams per capita per day) the per-person values — for isoglucose, 2019 to 2023. What is measured is supply available for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Tonnes appear as FAO published them, unrounded. The 2023 listed total of 8,938 tonnes sums the 21 reporters carrying a 2023 value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did Nepal swing the latest year?

Nepal reported 6,320 tonnes in 2022 and zero in 2023, a fall worth 128 percent of the 4,934-tonne net decrease. The figures trace the exit without identifying what caused it.

Why did five years barely move with such exits?

Cambodia fell 520 tonnes to zero and Hungary 446, while Malta added 17 from zero and Haiti 9 — leaving a 1,076-tonne net decrease. The figures record the offset, not what caused each side.

How can Belarus rank third with no 2019 value?

Belarus shows no 2019 value and 811.9 tonnes in 2023; a blank cell means no value was reported, which differs from a reported zero. The figures record the appearance, not what caused it.
