Onions and Shallots Green Consumption by Country

China reported 825,602 tonnes of green onion and shallot food supply in 2023, 22.7 percent of the listed total. Angola came second at 511,804 tonnes and South Korea third at 388,895. Per person, Tunisia led. Morocco returned from zero in the latest year, while Angola added 487,868 over five years. All figures count food available for human consumption, not actual intake.

The 2023 picture was shaped by a few large changes rather than a uniform rise across countries. Morocco moved from zero reported supply in 2022 to 42,168 tonnes, while Angola's five-year increase was large enough to exceed the overall gain among countries tracked in both years.

Methodology

For onions and shallots, green, 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. Angola rises more than twenty-fold while Tunisia leads per person. The file holds 116 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 111 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.
