Brazil Records the Largest Annual Decline

Brazil lost 96,383 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 11.2 percent to 766,352 tonnes. Indonesia lost 82,148 tonnes, down 35.1 percent. Kenya shed 59,941 tonnes, down 17.6 percent. Russia added 23,062 tonnes, up 5.8 percent. Colombia added 32,785 tonnes, up 179.3 percent. The United States added 39,054 tonnes, up 1.0 percent. The 174 countries with reported values in both years eased from 12,354,078 tonnes to 12,108,053 tonnes, down 246,024 tonnes, or 2.0 percent, with no departures and no arrivals.

India's Margarine and Shortening Supply Falls Over Five Years

Between 2019 and 2023, the 173 countries with reported values in both years eased from 12,604,291 tonnes to 12,108,040 tonnes, down 496,251 tonnes, or 3.9 percent. India lost 417,438 tonnes, down 48.4 percent. Ukraine shed 148,779 tonnes, down 60.6 percent. Poland gave up 111,967 tonnes, down 45.8 percent. Venezuela added 58,873 tonnes, up 61.2 percent. Kenya added 111,316 tonnes, up 66.1 percent. The United States added 161,492 tonnes, up 4.1 percent. Cuba reported 383.37 tonnes in 2019 with no later values, while Micronesia first reported 13.44 tonnes in 2023.

Hungary Leads per Person

Hungary's 37.01 grams a day beat Sweden's 35.29 in second and the United States' 32.87 in third. Norway sat fourth at 28.65 grams. Total tonnage and per-person figures describe different measures: the first reflects overall volume, the second adjusts for population.

What the Margarine and Shortening Data Covers

The dataset uses FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts data for margarine and shortening from 2019 through 2023. It reports food supply for human consumption in tonnes and grams per person per day. Annual totals include countries with reported values for that year, while year-to-year changes compare only countries with values in both years. Reported zeros are retained; blank entries are treated as missing data, not as zero. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the baseline and are not calculated when that baseline is zero.

Egypt reported zero in 2022 and 17,703 tonnes in 2023, while Morocco reported zero in 2022 and 3,371 tonnes in 2023. Reported zeros are retained as supplied by FAO. Whether they reflect real changes in availability or changes in reporting cannot be determined from this table alone.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts report margarine and shortening food supply in tonnes under element 5141 and in grams per person per day under element 665. This page covers the 2019-2023 period. Annual totals sum the reporting countries and areas with a value for the relevant year; aggregate rows are excluded. Year-to-year comparisons include only countries and areas with values in both comparison years. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated when that value is zero. Reported zeros are retained, while blank cells indicate missing values. These figures describe food available for human consumption and should not be interpreted as direct measurements of the amount people actually ate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the largest margarine and shortening supply in 2023?

The United States ranked first with 4,120,492 tonnes in 2023, followed by Pakistan and Brazil in the same listed table that year, with Pakistan second.

Which country ranked first per person?

Hungary had the highest reported food supply per person in 2023, followed by Sweden at 35.29 grams per day in the same listed table that year, ahead of the United States in third.

How much did the listed supply change between 2022 and 2023?

The total for the 174 countries with values in both years fell by about 246,024 tonnes, or 2.0 percent over the annual comparison period, with Brazil falling the most.

Which country recorded the largest five-year decline?

India's listed supply fell by 417,438 tonnes between 2019 and 2023, a decrease of about 48.4 percent, the sharpest fall in the table over the five-year comparison period.

Do these figures show how much margarine people actually ate?

No. They measure the reported food available for human consumption in the reference year, not the amount of margarine actually consumed by individual people in each year.
