Kapok Fibre; Raw Production by Country
FAO Crops and Livestock Products records for item Kapok fibre; raw, 2019-2023, put Indonesia first with 56,910 tonnes and Thailand second with 21,934 tonnes. The table lists 2 countries, all of which reported a 2023 quantity, and the 2023 annual listed total is 78,844 tonnes.
Indonesia produced 2.59 times as much as Thailand: 56,910 tonnes against 21,934. The two account for the full 78,844-tonne listed total. Indonesia was the largest raw kapok fibre producer in the 2023 listed data with 56,910 tonnes, followed by Thailand with 21,934 tonnes. Indonesia holds 72.2 percent of the listed 2023 total. The two together hold 100.0 percent of the 78,844-tonne listed total. The common reporter universe (2 countries with data in both years) slipped from 79,023 tonnes to 78,844 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, a change of -179 tonnes (-0.2 percent). The totals listed for each year were 79,023 tonnes (2 reporters) and 78,844 tonnes (2 reporters); no country exited and no new reporter joined. Thailand fell 299 tonnes (down 1.3 percent), while Indonesia added 120 tonnes (up 0.2 percent). Between 2019 and 2023, the common reporter universe (2 countries with data in both years) rose from 78,657 tonnes to 78,844 tonnes, a change of 187 tonnes (0.2 percent). The totals listed for each year were 78,657 tonnes (2 reporters) and 78,844 tonnes (2 reporters); no reporter present in 2019 is absent in 2023, while no new reporters joined. Indonesia added 270 tonnes (up 0.5 percent), while Thailand fell 83 tonnes (down 0.4 percent). Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Kapok fibre; raw, 2019-2023. For raw kapok fibre production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2023 raw kapok fibre production ranking and shares use 2023 listed quantities. In the raw kapok fibre production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For raw kapok fibre production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which reporter grew in both windows?
Indonesia added 120 tonnes (up 0.2 percent) between 2022 and 2023 and 270 tonnes (up 0.5 percent) since 2019. Indonesia reports in all three endpoint years, so both gains sit inside their change universes while Thailand eased in both.
How small are the moves here?
The largest single move in either window is Thailand's 299-tonne fall between 2022 and 2023. Both window totals moved 0.2 percent, so the table is essentially flat across 2019-2023.
Do both reporters appear in every endpoint year?
Yes. Indonesia and Thailand reported in 2019, 2022 and 2023, so the same 2-country reporter universe applies to both change periods.
