Lard Stearine and Lard Oil Consumption by Country
Latvia recorded the largest listed lard stearine and lard oil food supply in 2023, at 0.91 tonnes, while Grenada ranked first per person at 0.01 grams a day. The three countries with reported values accounted for a combined 1.49 tonnes, and only Latvia and Grenada reported positive quantities. These FAO figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Yemen reported zero for 2023, so Latvia and Grenada together account for the entire listed total, while Serbia has no reported value for that year. Grenada lost 0.13 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 18.3 percent to 0.58 tonnes, and Yemen held at zero in both years. Latvia moved from a reported zero in 2022 to a positive level in 2023, so no percentage is calculated for that change. Across the three countries with values in both years, the listed total rose from 0.71 tonnes to 1.49 tonnes, up 0.78 tonnes, or 109.9 percent, with no departures and no arrivals. From 2019 to 2023, the three countries with reported values at both endpoints rose from a combined 0.04 tonnes by 1.45 tonnes, a change too small in scale for a meaningful percentage. Latvia increased by 0.87 tonnes, from 0.04 to 0.91 tonnes. Grenada rose from a reported zero to 0.58 tonnes, which is a quantity change without a valid percentage base. Yemen reported zero in both years. Serbia reported 15.14 tonnes in 2019, the largest figure that year, but nothing from 2021 onward, so it sits outside this comparison. Grenada recorded the only positive per-person figure in 2023, at 0.01 grams a day, while Latvia and Yemen reported zero and Serbia has no reported value. These figures express the quantity available for human consumption per person, not individual dietary intake. The dataset covers lard stearine and lard oil in FAO Supply Utilization Accounts for 2019-2023, recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country. The table contains four country rows, but only three have reported values in 2023 and two of those are positive. Because the quantities are small, values are shown to two decimal places. Two series need a source check: Yemen reported 8 tonnes in 2021 and zero in 2022, and Serbia reported 15.14 tonnes in 2019 before dropping to zero in 2020 and leaving the table. A reported zero is retained as published and is different from a blank, which indicates missing data. 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. The 2023 listed total sums all country rows with reported values for that year, including reported zeros. Year-to-year and five-year comparisons use only countries with reported values at both endpoints, 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. A reported zero is distinct from a blank, which indicates missing data, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimal places.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the highest lard supply in 2023?
Latvia ranked first by reported quantity at 0.91 tonnes, followed by Grenada at 0.58 tonnes, while Yemen reported zero and Serbia has no 2023 value.
Which country had the highest lard supply per person?
Grenada recorded the highest reported figure, at 0.01 grams per person per day, while Latvia and Yemen both reported zero and Serbia has no 2023 value.
Does food supply mean actual consumption?
No. FAO food-supply figures measure the quantity available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten by individuals, so they describe availability rather than intake.
Why are some countries shown with zero values?
A reported zero is retained as published and is different from a blank, which indicates missing data, and large changes between years should be checked against the source before being interpreted.
How is the five-year change calculated?
The comparison uses countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, and their combined listed total increased from 0.04 to 1.49 tonnes, with no percentage calculated for countries starting from zero.
