Olives Preserved Consumption by Country
Saudi Arabia held 353,652 tonnes of preserved olive supply in 2023, 11.1 percent of the 3,191,363-tonne total. Algeria came second and Greece third. Per person, Greece led the table, far above the volume leaders. Spain's latest-year fall and Egypt's five-year rise shaped the table. All figures count food available for human consumption, not actual intake.
Olives Preserved at a Glance
Saudi Arabia had the largest reported preserved olive food supply in 2023 at 353,652 tonnes, followed by Algeria at 333,616 tonnes and Greece at 280,000 tonnes. Together, these three countries accounted for 30.3 percent of the total reported across countries with a 2023 value.
Greece had the highest per-person supply at 74.89 grams per person per day, well ahead of Saudi Arabia at 29.13 grams and Libya at 28.0 grams. Algeria ranked second by total volume but recorded 19.8 grams per person per day.
Preserved olive supply fell 5.2 percent from 3,366,034 tonnes in 2022 to 3,191,363 tonnes in 2023. Spain recorded the largest latest-year decline, falling by 111,104 tonnes, while Algeria added 87,687 tonnes.

Per person, Albania (27.66) and Portugal (25.44) followed Libya, with Algeria at 19.8. Across the 174 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, supply fell 5.2 percent from 3,366,034 tonnes, a loss of 174,671 tonnes. Spain's 111,104-tonne fall exceeded half the net loss, while Egypt shed 84,687 tonnes and Saudi Arabia 58,091. Algeria added 87,687 tonnes and Italy 73,051. Among the 172 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total climbed 33.3 percent from 2,393,024 tonnes, a gain of 797,573 tonnes. Egypt added 262,565 tonnes, nearly a third of the net rise, while Algeria added 157,868 tonnes and Saudi Arabia 93,652. Morocco added 83,096 tonnes and Spain's 81,732-tonne fall offset part of it. One country left with 1,483 tonnes while three entered with 766. Greece's 74.89 grams a day led the per-person table, ahead of Saudi Arabia at 29.13 and Libya at 28.0. Albania (27.66) and Portugal (25.44) followed. Saudi Arabia, first by a narrow margin on volume, ranked second per person, while Algeria stood at 19.8 grams. This page follows the SUA item labelled Olives preserved 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. Spain's path ran from 183,775 tonnes in 2021 to 23,572 in 2023, with the steepest drop in the latest year. Egypt moved the other way, from 14,998 tonnes in 2019 to 823,996 in 2021 before easing to 277,563. Morocco swung from 4,177 tonnes in 2021 to 110,000 in 2022 before settling at 100,000. For olives preserved, 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 177 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 175 of them carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country has the highest preserved olive supply per person?
Greece, at 74.89 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Saudi Arabia at 29.13 and Libya at 28.0, among the 175 countries with a 2023 value.
How much preserved olive supply was reported in 2023?
175 countries reported 3,191,363 tonnes in 2023. That was down 5.2 percent from 3,366,034 tonnes in 2022, a loss of 174,671 tonnes for human consumption.
How much did Spain's supply change?
Spain fell from 134,676 tonnes in 2022 to 23,572 in 2023, a loss of 111,104 tonnes or 82.5 percent, the steepest single-year fall in the table.
Does preserved olive supply equal food people ate?
No. Across 177 countries, the figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than eaten amounts.
How much did Egypt's preserved olive supply increase?
Egypt rose from 14,998 tonnes in 2019 to 277,563 in 2023, a gain of 262,565 tonnes, the largest five-year rise after a 2021 peak of 823,996 tonnes.
