Olive Oil Consumption by Country in 2023

Italy holds 510 thousand tonnes, or 17.9 percent of the 2,853-thousand-tonne listed total. Spain follows at 430 thousand tonnes (15.1 percent) and the United States at 370 thousand tonnes (13.0 percent), with Türkiye fourth at 142 thousand tonnes and Morocco fifth at 122 thousand tonnes.

The top three reporters account for 45.9 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 55.2 percent and the top ten account for 71.0 percent. Spain, Greece and Italy sweep the per-capita top three at 8.98, 8.79 and 8.57 kilograms.

Broad Declines Pull Supply Down 11.7 Percent Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 171 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply decreased from 3,231 thousand tonnes to 2,853 thousand tonnes, a decline of 378 thousand tonnes (11.7 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 171 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. Türkiye fell 69 thousand tonnes (down 32.7 percent), Syria fell 55 thousand tonnes (down 38.7 percent), India fell 45 thousand tonnes (down 81.8 percent), the United States fell 36 thousand tonnes (down 8.9 percent), Brazil fell 30 thousand tonnes (down 27.3 percent), France fell 26 thousand tonnes (down 19.8 percent) and China fell 25 thousand tonnes (down 53.2 percent), while Tunisia added 40 thousand tonnes (up 129.0 percent).

Spain Falls 100 Thousand Tonnes as Supply Declines 10.8 Percent Since 2019

For the 170 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply fell from 3,200 thousand tonnes to 2,853 thousand tonnes, a decline of 347 thousand tonnes (10.8 percent). The 2019 total includes 171 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total also includes 171. Cuba has a reported zero in 2019 but no reported 2023 value, while Micronesia has a reported zero in 2023 but no reported 2019 value. Spain fell 100 thousand tonnes (down 18.9 percent), Greece fell 69 thousand tonnes (down 43.4 percent), Türkiye fell 56 thousand tonnes (down 28.3 percent), China fell 27 thousand tonnes (down 55.1 percent), Morocco fell 16 thousand tonnes (down 11.6 percent), Argentina fell 14 thousand tonnes (down 100.0 percent), France fell 14 thousand tonnes (down 11.8 percent) and Russia fell 14 thousand tonnes (down 58.3 percent).

The largest changes in both comparison periods were mostly declines. Seven of the eight largest year-to-year movements were decreases, and all eight of the largest five-year movements were decreases. Spain's 100-thousand-tonne drop accounts for 28.8 percent of the five-year net decline. Per capita, Spain's 8.98 kilograms lead Greece at 8.79 and Italy at 8.57 kilograms, while the United States, third by total, records 1.08 kilograms.

What Does Olive Oil Consumption Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the olive oil figure used here covers olive oil recorded under the Food element as available for human consumption. It represents food available for human consumption during the reference year, rather than a direct estimate of how much olive oil people actually consumed. Table olives recorded under the olives item sit outside this figure.

The per-capita figure expresses the same food supply on a population basis, in kilograms per person per year. A country's total quantity and per-capita value therefore answer different questions: total quantity shows the size of the listed food supply, while the per-capita measure adjusts it for population.

Olive Oil Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, Italy had the largest listed olive oil food supply among the 171 reporters with reported values, at 510 thousand tonnes. Spain ranked second at 430 thousand tonnes, while the United States ranked third at 370 thousand tonnes. Spain had the highest per-capita olive oil food supply at 8.98 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of olive oil actually eaten.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Food Balances food quantity (Element 5142, thousand tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 645, kg/capita/year) for Olive oil from 2019 through 2023. The Food element represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten, as food can be lost or wasted before it is consumed.

The reporter universe for this item contains 172 reporters. The tables list reporters only; aggregate rows such as World, regions and China (aggregate) are excluded, while China figures refer to the China reporter. For year-to-year comparisons, only reporters with values in both endpoint years are included in the arithmetic. A zero indicates a displayed value of zero, while an empty cell indicates that no value is available for that reporter and year.

Quantities of 1,000 thousand tonnes and above are shown as whole numbers; smaller quantities retain up to two decimals. FAO Food Balances primarily use official national statistics, with some data also estimated or imputed where applicable. The FAO dataset reports the Food element in thousand tonnes and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year. The 2023 listed total of 2,853 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 171 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
