Molasses Consumption by Country

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts record molasses available for human consumption, in tonnes and in grams per person per day, from 2019 through 2023. The file covers 12 reporters; 11 of them carry a 2023 value, adding to a listed total of 91,268 tonnes — 99.3 percent of it Filipino. The table fell 9.4 percent in five years, then rebounded 4.3 percent in one.

Three Lines on Filipino Molasses

• The Philippines holds 99.3 percent — 290 times Bhutan in second.
• Five years fell 9.4 percent; the latest year added 4.3 percent.

What Does Molasses Cover?

The FAO item covers molasses as classified by FAO. Food supply quantity captures what was available for human consumption during the reference year. The gram-per-day figure spreads that availability across the population on a daily basis.

Molasses Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

The Philippines had the largest 2023 listed molasses supply at 90,626 tonnes and the highest per-capita figure at 2.16 grams per person per day, accounting for 99.3 percent of the 91,268-tonne listed total across 11 reporters. On a common-reporter basis, the listed total fell 9.4 percent from 2019 to 2023. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.

Methodology

The universe is twelve reporters deep: every reporter with a value in any year from 2019 through 2023, shown without World, regional or China (aggregate) rows — China here means the China reporter. Percentages anchor on the earlier of the two endpoint years for reporters present in both; zero-base years get none. A reported zero counts as zero, while a blank cell means nothing was reported.

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity, element 5141 in tonnes for totals and element 665 in grams per capita per day, follows molasses over 2019-2023. The counted object is availability for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. The 2023 listed total of 91,268 tonnes sums the 11 reporters with a 2023 value, in tonnes as published.
