Milled Rice (Husked) Consumption by Country

Brazil accounted for 1,335,604 tonnes of listed milled rice (husked) food supply in 2023, or 67.9 percent of the 1,965,688-tonne listed sum. Brazil climbed from 192,172 tonnes in 2019, an advance of 595.0 percent covering 96.4 percent of the five-year net addition, before easing 5.7 percent in the single year. Belgium ranks first per person with 23.50 grams per person per day and lifted 54.7 percent in the single year. Away from the large reporters, eight reporters departed the five-year comparison while 17 joined with modest amounts.

Brazil sits atop the 2023 list on 1,335,604 tonnes, 6.59 times the United Kingdom on 202,739, with Germany next on 160,662 and Belgium next on 100,463. Per person Belgium is first on 23.50 grams per person per day, then Portugal on 22.41 and Brazil on 17.33 grams.

Milled Rice (Husked) in 2023: Numbers to Keep in Mind

• Brazil registered the greatest listed milled rice (husked) food supply in 2023 with 1,335,604 tonnes.
• The United Kingdom followed on 202,739 tonnes, then Germany on 160,662 tonnes.
• Belgium posted the leading per-person food supply with 23.50 grams per person per day.
• The listed sum came to 1,965,688 tonnes from 39 reporters with reported values.
• Across 22 reporters found in both 2019 and 2023, listed milled rice (husked) food supply expanded by 1,186,359 tonnes, or 152.9 percent.
• The FAO food supply quantity measure outlines food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

What Sets This Small Reporter Set Apart

The FAO entry spans milled rice (husked) for 50 reporters, with Brazil covering above two thirds of the listed sum. The leading three account for 86.4 percent, and El Salvador, tenth on 3,257 tonnes, showed no reported 2019 value.

The yearly movement stayed comparatively modest, while the five-year outcome leans overwhelmingly on Brazil's climb. The single-year common figure slipped 2.6 percent as Brazil, Germany and the Netherlands moved down while Belgium, Myanmar and the United Kingdom moved up. The five-year common figure advanced 152.9 percent nearly on Brazil alone, whose addition of 1,143,432 tonnes dwarfed that of every other reporter.

Brazil at 67.9 Percent; Belgium First Per Person

The 2023 ordering begins with Brazil on 1,335,604 tonnes, then the United Kingdom on 202,739 and Germany on 160,662. Belgium and Portugal fill the next two places on 100,463 and 85,333 tonnes. Brazil represents 67.9 percent of the 1,965,688-tonne listed sum.

The leading three reporters together cover 86.4 percent of the listed sum, the leading five 95.9 percent and the leading ten 99.7 percent. Per person, Belgium on 23.50 grams per person per day sits ahead of Portugal on 22.41 grams, while Brazil, first by total, shows 17.33 grams.

One-Year View: Common Supply Lower by 2.6 Percent

Across the 36 reporters found in both 2022 and 2023, listed food supply eased from 2,018,520 tonnes to 1,965,561 tonnes, down 52,958 tonnes (2.6 percent). The 2022 sum reflects 37 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 sum reflects 39; Iraq, with about 22 tonnes in 2022, showed no reported 2023 value, while Mauritius, Mongolia and Senegal joined with a combined 127 tonnes. Brazil shed 80,964 tonnes (down 5.7 percent), Germany shed 33,576 tonnes (down 17.3 percent), the Netherlands shed 10,289 tonnes (down 28.3 percent) and Portugal shed 3,281 tonnes (down 3.7 percent), while Belgium added 35,510 tonnes (up 54.7 percent), Myanmar added 19,526 tonnes (up 148.3 percent), the United Kingdom added 16,145 tonnes (up 8.7 percent) and Sri Lanka added 3,549 tonnes (up 71.6 percent).

Brazil's step from 1,416,568 to 1,335,604 tonnes is the deepest absolute annual drop. Belgium's climb from 64,953 to 100,463 tonnes and Myanmar's from 13,167 to 32,693 cushioned a portion of it, yet not sufficiently to prevent the common figure from contracting.

Five-Year View: Common Supply Higher by 152.9 Percent

For the 22 reporters found in both 2019 and 2023, listed food supply advanced from 775,689 tonnes to 1,962,048 tonnes, up 1,186,359 tonnes (152.9 percent). The 2019 sum reflects 30 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 sum reflects 39; eight reporters with a combined 2,633 tonnes departed from the comparison, headed by Liberia on 2,553 tonnes, while 17 reporters with a combined 3,640 tonnes joined, headed by El Salvador on 3,257 tonnes. Brazil added 1,143,432 tonnes (up 595.0 percent), the United Kingdom added 38,225 tonnes (up 23.2 percent), Portugal added 35,333 tonnes (up 70.7 percent), Myanmar added 26,407 tonnes (up 420.1 percent) and Belgium added 8,568 tonnes (up 9.3 percent), while Germany shed 39,574 tonnes (down 19.8 percent), the Netherlands shed 14,578 tonnes (down 35.9 percent) and Cameroon shed about 11,500 tonnes (down 100.0 percent).

Brazil supplied 96.4 percent of the five-year net addition, climbing from 192,172 to 1,335,604 tonnes. Germany's step from 200,236 to 160,662 tonnes is the deepest absolute five-year drop among the reporters covered here.

Where This Milled Rice (Husked) Count Comes From

Values in this piece come from the Rice, milled (husked) entry in FAO Supply Utilization Accounts, rice milled from husked grain, shown as food available for human consumption during the reference year. Such a milled rice (husked) sum should not be viewed as an estimate of what people actually ate. Paddy rice and husked rice earlier in the chain sit outside this count, and remaining milled rice appears under a separate entry.

The per-person measure restates the reported food supply as grams available per person during the day. It supplies a population-adjusted look at the same entry, and here the two perspectives diverge: Brazil heads the total ordering while Belgium heads the per-person ordering.

Milled Rice (Husked) Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, FAO Supply Utilization Accounts recorded 1,965,688 tonnes of listed milled rice (husked) food supply across 39 reporters with reported values. Brazil had the largest total at 1,335,604 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 202,739 and Germany at 160,662 tonnes. Belgium had the highest per-capita supply at 23.50 grams per person per day. These figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of milled rice (husked) actually eaten.

Methodology

Every percentage here divides by the earlier-year value across reporters holding values in both endpoint years; a zero base year yields no percentage. Country totals are FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity (element 5141, tonnes) and per-person values are element 665 in grams per capita per day — both for rice milled from husked grain, 2019 through 2023, counting supply available for human consumption rather than intake.

Fifty reporters form the universe, tables showing reporters only: World, regional and China (aggregate) rows are out, and China means the China reporter. Zero is a reported zero while blank is no report; figures appear unrounded as published. The 2023 listed total of 1,965,688 tonnes sums the 39 reporters with a 2023 value. Paddy rice, husked rice and other milled rice sit in separate articles. Source: FAO, FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts, Rice milled (husked), food supply quantity (tonnes; g/capita/day), 2019-2023.
