Other Cereal Flour Consumption by Country
Ethiopia's 5,851,476 tonnes dominate listed other cereal flour supply in 2023: 88.9 percent of 6,583,867 tonnes, 27.76 times the United States at 210,792. Ethiopia added 141,246 tonnes in the latest year and 763,968 over five — 80.7 percent of the five-year net gain. Liberia leapt from 24 tonnes in 2022 to 27,477 in 2023 while Yemen went from zero to 23,911. Per person Ethiopia runs first as well at 124.57 grams a day.
Ethiopia's 5,851,476 tonnes beat the United States' 210,792 by 27.76 times; Poland holds third at 78,289, the Netherlands fourth at 71,593 and Italy fifth at 37,703. The per-person order opens the same way: Ethiopia at 124.57 grams a day, Liberia at 13.70 and the Netherlands at 10.84. Other cereal flour is reported by 127 reporters, though only 125 carry a 2023 figure — and Ethiopia alone covers 88.9 percent of the total. The United States sits a distant second despite the second-largest supply, while Liberia and Yemen recorded outsized jumps from tiny bases. Poland more than tripled over five years against Ethiopia's steady climb, while Italy fell by a quarter and Ukraine by nine tenths. Ethiopia opens the 2023 table at 5,851,476 tonnes (88.9 percent of 6,583,867), the United States at 210,792 and Poland at 78,289. The Netherlands and Italy come next at 71,593 and 37,703 tonnes. The top three reporters accounted for 93.3 percent of the listed total, the top five 94.9 percent and the top ten 97.3 percent. Per capita, Ethiopia's 124.57 grams per person per day leads Liberia at 13.70 grams. Across the 124 reporters with values in both 2022 and 2023, listed supply moved from 6,379,971 tonnes to 6,583,677 tonnes, up 203,706 tonnes or 3.2 percent. The two years share the same 124 reporters; Denmark entered at 190 tonnes and Jamaica, with 2 tonnes in 2022, has no 2023 value. Ethiopia added 141,246 tonnes (up 2.5 percent), Liberia 27,454 tonnes from 23 tonnes, Yemen 23,911 tonnes from a reported zero, the Netherlands 20,583 (up 40.4 percent), Saudi Arabia 7,987 (up 287.8 percent) and Kazakhstan 6,366 (up 22.3 percent). On the declining side, Italy fell 16,955 tonnes (down 31.0 percent) and Poland fell 13,809 tonnes (down 15.0 percent). Ethiopia's gain of 141,246 tonnes against a net increase of 203,706 leaves Liberia, Yemen and the Netherlands as the other meaningful movers. For the 123 reporters with values in both 2019 and 2023, listed supply rose from 5,636,872 tonnes to 6,583,479 tonnes, up 946,607 tonnes or 16.8 percent. The 2019 universe holds 125 reporters with values against 125 in 2023; Cuba and Jamaica, with negligible 2019 values, have no 2023 value, while Comoros and Denmark entered with a combined 388 tonnes. Ethiopia added 763,968 tonnes (up 15.0 percent), the United States 66,283 (up 45.9 percent), Poland 56,299 (up 256.0 percent), Liberia 27,469 from 8 tonnes, Yemen 22,760 (up 1,977.4 percent) and Kazakhstan 21,644 (up 162.9 percent). On the declining side, Italy fell 12,687 tonnes (down 25.2 percent) and Ukraine fell 11,802 tonnes (down 92.3 percent). Ethiopia contributes 80.7 percent of the five-year net increase, with the United States, Poland, Liberia and Yemen adding the next-largest shares. Counted here is flour of otherwise unclassified cereals, as food available for human consumption during the reference year — not an estimate of what people actually ate. The per-capita value expresses this reported food supply in population terms, showing how much was available per person per day. Ethiopia records the highest value at 124.57 grams. Ethiopia's 2023 other cereal flour total of 5,851,476 tonnes led the United States by 27.76 times across 125 reporters, with per-person leadership at 124.57 grams a day to match. Poland (78,289 tonnes) trailed far behind in third. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten. The file counts 127 reporters holding a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023; the tables print reporters only, without World, regional or China (aggregate) rows, and China here denotes the China reporter. For reporters present in both endpoint years, percentages take the earlier year as base. Zero-base years get no percentage, and tiny-base multiples should be read against the base. Country totals come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity, tonnes) and per-person values from element 665 (grams per capita per day), for flour of cereals n.e.c. across 2019-2023 — availability for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. A zero is a reported zero; a blank means nothing was reported. The 6,583,867-tonne listed total sums the 125 reporters carrying a 2023 value, in tonnes as FAO published them.

Other Cereal Flour Consumption by Country: Quick Answer
Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How did Ethiopia shape both windows?
Ethiopia added 141,246 tonnes in the latest year against a net listed gain of 203,706 tonnes, and 763,968 tonnes over five years against a net gain of 946,607. Its 5,851,476-tonne supply was 27.76 times the second-ranked reporter in 2023.
How did Liberia and Yemen leap from near zero?
Liberia rose from 23 tonnes in 2022 to 27,477 in 2023, and Yemen from a reported zero to 23,911 tonnes. The figures record these moves from tiny bases without identifying what caused them.
Is other cereal flour supply the same as flour eaten?
No. The FAO measure counts food available for human consumption; it does not directly record how much people ate.
