Methodology

For lettuce and chicory, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds 169 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 168 carry 2023 values. A total exit reshapes an otherwise growing total. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the largest lettuce and chicory supply in 2023?

China, with 13,023,380 tonnes in 2023, or 54.0 percent of the listed total, 3.01 times second-placed United States at 4,331,764 tonnes, with India third.

What happened to Spain?

Spain fell to zero in 2023 from 87,283 tonnes in 2022. Because the 2023 value is zero, no percentage change is stated.

How did five years net out?

The United States added 503,028 tonnes and China 456,032, together exceeding the 613,735-tonne net gain, with the Netherlands shedding 166,996 and Colombia shedding 109,313 against them.

Who led per person?

Belgium, at 119.02 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of the United States at 34.55, while volume leader China sat at only 25.08 grams.

Does this supply equal food eaten?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.
