Oil of Tung Nuts Consumption by Country
Thailand reported 17 tonnes of tung nut oil food supply in 2023, the only positive reading in a three-country file. Bangladesh and Yemen both reported zero, and no per-person series exists. Only a handful of countries report tung nut oil food supply at all, so the table below covers the full known scope. All figures count food available for human consumption, not actual intake.
Quick Answer
- 2023 total: 16.65 tonnes.
- Countries with reported values: 3.
- Positive 2023 value: Thailand, 16.65 tonnes.
- Reported zero: Bangladesh and Yemen.
- Per-person data: not available for 2023.
Thailand holds the entire 2023 tung nut oil supply, the only positive reading in a three-country file. Bangladesh and Yemen sit at reported zero. Thailand more than doubled in the latest year, adding ten tonnes. Only three countries report this item at all.
A Very Small Reporting Set
Thailand stood alone with the file's only positive reading, holding the entire listed total. Bangladesh reported zero after 1 tonne in 2019, and Yemen zero after its 2019 reading. The three countries span South and Southeast Asia plus the Arabian Peninsula, yet their 2023 values add up to a single small reading. Of the file's countries, three survived the window rule, and one carried a positive 2023 value.
Thailand more than doubled to 17 tonnes in 2023, adding 10 tonnes, or 154.6 percent, the only gain in the file. Its path ran from 19 tonnes in 2021 down to 7 and back up, so the latest year recovered most of the dip. Bangladesh and Yemen sat at zero in both 2022 and 2023, contributing nothing to either year's total. FAO's per-capita series for this item ends before the window, so no grams-per-day figure exists for any country. Yemen fell from 32 tonnes in 2019 to zero in 2023, the largest five-year fall in the file, erasing the biggest reading the table ever held. Bangladesh fell from 1 tonne to zero over the same span. Thailand, absent in 2019, entered with 19 tonnes in 2021 and closed near that level. With two countries at zero and one positive, percentage shares mean little here beyond Thailand's full sweep. Thailand's full sweep of the listed total says more about missing countries than about appetite, since two of three countries read zero. A share of everything sounds dominant until the everything is this small. Year-on-year percentages swing wildly on such bases: Thailand's 154.6 percent gain added only 10 tonnes, while Yemen's fall to zero erased nearly twice Thailand's reading. Two of three at zero makes every rate a story about one country. This page follows the SUA item labelled Oil of tung nuts and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are not in the table. The annual listed supply total sums the countries with a 2023 value. Food here means supply available for people to eat in the reference year, not amounts eaten. For oil of tung nuts, 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 3 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; all 3 carry 2023 values, and none carries a 2023 per-person value. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.Thailand's Rebound Year

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the highest tung nut oil supply in 2023?
Thailand, with 16.65 tonnes in 2023, the only positive reading among the 3 reporting countries.
How much did Thailand's supply change in the latest year?
Thailand added 10 tonnes, or 154.6 percent, from 6.54 tonnes in 2022, recovering most of its dip from 18.84 tonnes in 2021.
Did Bangladesh or Yemen report any supply in 2023?
No. Bangladesh reported zero after 0.55 tonnes in 2019, and Yemen zero after 31.6 tonnes in 2019; both sat at zero in 2022 and 2023.
Is there per-capita tung nut oil data?
No. FAO's per-capita series for oil of tung nuts ends before the window, so no 2023 grams-per-day figure exists.
Does FAO food supply mean actual consumption?
No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake.
