A Modest Five-Year Decline

Among the 152 countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, supply fell 3.0 percent, from 687,564 tonnes, a loss of 20,591. India shed 16,974 tonnes and Tanzania 15,659, together exceeding the net loss. Mexico added 15,276 tonnes, nearly tripling from 8,303, and Mozambique 10,159. Nigeria shed 9,375 tonnes over five years despite its latest-year jump. South Korea shed 8,897 tonnes, while Lebanon added 6,041, up 350.2 percent from 1,725. Djibouti reported 0.41 tonnes in 2019 with no 2023 value, while six additional countries contributed 79 tonnes to the 2023 total.

Uganda Ranks High on Both Measures

Uganda sat sixth at 32,261 tonnes and fourth per person at 1.82 grams, one of two countries in both top listings alongside Myanmar. Myanmar sat fifth at 34,473 tonnes and fifth per person at 1.74 grams. Mozambique, ninth at 15,949 tonnes, shed 6,415 in the latest year yet added 10,159 over five. South Korea, tenth at 14,669 tonnes, shed 8,897 over five years.

Nigeria's Round Trip

Nigeria fell from 46,134 tonnes in 2019 to 16,081 in 2022, then jumped to 36,759 in 2023. Its five-year loss of 9,375 tonnes hides a latest-year jump that exceeded the net gain. Per person, Nigeria sat at 0.44 grams, far from Lebanon's 3.69. The round trip leaves Nigeria below its 2019 level despite the rebound.

Lebanon Leads Per Person

Lebanon's 3.69 grams a day topped the per-person table, ahead of Jordan at 1.94 and Saudi Arabia at 1.85. Uganda and Myanmar followed at 1.82 and 1.74 grams, pairing top-ten volumes with top-five per-person places. China, the volume leader, sat at 0.52 grams per person. Türkiye paired third by volume with 1.26 grams.

Methodology

For oil of sesame seed, 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 159 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 158 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who led sesame oil supply?

China, with 267,852 tonnes in 2023, or 40.2 percent of the listed total in the same table, 4.61 times India at 58,056 tonnes in the same listed table that year, with Türkiye third.

What moved the latest total?

Nigeria added 20,678 tonnes in the latest year, exceeding the 10,846-tonne net gain over the annual comparison period, while Iran shed 11,121 tonnes against it in the same comparison group.

How did five years net out?

India shed 16,974 tonnes and Tanzania 15,659 over five years in the comparison group, together exceeding the 20,591-tonne net loss, partly offset by Mexico and Mozambique.

Who led per person?

Lebanon, at 3.69 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Jordan at 1.94 in the same listed table, while volume leader China sat at only 0.52 grams.

Does this supply equal food eaten?

No. The figures measure the reported food available for human consumption in the reference year, not the amount of sesame oil actually eaten by individual people in each year.
