Lupins Consumption by Country
Morocco remained the largest listed source of lupins in 2023, with 54,591 tonnes, or 65.4 percent of the 83,503-tonne total across 18 reporters. Chile recorded the largest increase, adding 6,937 tonnes to reach 12,156, a 132.9 percent rise from 2022. Over five years, Morocco added 5,138 tonnes, accounting for 97.4 percent of the net increase among reporters with values in both years. Morocco also had the highest per-person figure at 3.97 grams a day.
Morocco's 2023 lupins figure of 54,591 tonnes stands 4.49 times Chile's 12,156, with Peru third at 11,570. Morocco's 3.97 grams a day head the per-person order, ahead of Chile at 1.69 and Peru at 0.94. 54,591 tonnes for Morocco (65.4 percent of 83,503), 12,156 for Chile and 11,570 for Peru. Germany and Ecuador follow at 1,720 and 1,164 tonnes. The top three reach 93.8 percent, the top five 97.2 percent and the top ten 99.7 percent. Morocco also ranked first on the per-person measure at 3.97 grams a day, followed by Chile at 1.69 and Peru at 0.94. Sixteen reporters had values in both 2019 and 2023. Their combined figure rose from 78,229 tonnes to 83,503 tonnes, a 5,273-tonne or 6.7 percent increase. Kuwait had 23 tonnes in 2019 but no 2023 value, while French Polynesia and Saudi Arabia had no 2019 value and recorded zero in 2023. Morocco put on 5,138 tonnes (10.4 percent up), 97.4 percent of the net advance, while Namibia came off 1,729 (83.4 percent down); Peru put on 1,198 (11.6 percent up) and Chile 1,032 (9.3 percent up), with the Czech Republic off 580 (40.0 percent down), Germany on 220 (14.7 percent up), Egypt off 147 to zero and Romania on 48 (75.0 percent up). Eighteen reporters bridge 2022 and 2023: 76,618 tonnes became 83,503 — a 6,885-tonne, 9.0 percent advanceThe same 18 reporters had values in both years. Chile put on 6,937 tonnes (132.9 percent up) and Morocco 779 (1.4 percent up), while Namibia came off 430 (55.5 percent down) and the Czech Republic 392 (31.1 percent down); Spain came off 120 (17.8 percent down) and Peru put on 108 (0.9 percent up), with Romania on 89 (366.6 percent up) and French Polynesia off 62 to zero. Lupins make up a separate FAO item — counted on their own, never merged with fellow pulses. These figures track food available for human consumption in the reference year. The per-person figure expresses that food supply on a population-adjusted daily basis. Morocco recorded the largest 2023 listed lupins supply at 54,591 tonnes, representing 65.4 percent of the 83,503-tonne total across 18 reporters. Chile followed with 12,156 tonnes and Peru with 11,570 tonnes. Morocco also had the highest per-person figure at 3.97 grams a day. These figures represent food available for human consumption, not the amount of lupins actually eaten. The earlier endpoint year anchors every percentage here, across reporters holding values in both years. Tonnes come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity); daily grams per person from element 665 — for lupins, 2019 through 2023. Counted is supply available for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing. Tables carry reporters alone — 19 held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows omitted; China is the China reporter. Tonnes match FAO's publication, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 83,503 tonnes aggregates the 18 reporters with a 2023 value.
