Other Cereals Consumption by Country

France held 21,751 tonnes of listed other cereals food supply in 2023, 31.4 percent of a 69,259-tonne total, 2.08 times Myanmar at 10,469 tonnes. The listed total fell 7.6 percent from 2022 to 2023, as declines in Madagascar, Colombia, Ghana, New Zealand and Niger outweighed gains led by Haiti and Peru, while the five-year comparison fell 10.9 percent as Mongolia and Belgium recorded the largest declines and Haiti recorded the largest gain. Georgia leads per person at 4.74 grams per person per day.

France leads at 21,751 tonnes, followed by Myanmar at 10,469 and Peru at 6,596, with Georgia fourth at 6,585 and New Zealand fifth at 4,313. Per capita Georgia leads at 4.74 grams per person per day, followed by Bhutan at 4.22 and New Zealand at 2.28 grams.

Other Cereals Food Supply at a Glance

• France had the largest listed other cereals food supply in 2023 at 21,751 tonnes.
• Myanmar ranked second at 10,469 tonnes, followed by Peru at 6,596 tonnes.
• Georgia had the highest per-capita food supply at 4.74 grams per person per day.
• The listed total was 69,259 tonnes across 49 reporters with reported values.
• Among 47 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed other cereals food supply decreased by 8,119 tonnes, or 10.9 percent.
• The FAO food supply quantity measure represents food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

Key Takeaways

The FAO dataset lists 52 reporters with other cereals values, although only 49 have a reported 2023 quantity. France, Myanmar and Peru together hold 56.0 percent of the listed total, and Colombia entered at 3,201 tonnes with no 2019 value.

Mongolia's fall of 4,495 tonnes and Belgium's of 4,243 drove much of the five-year decline at 55.4 and 52.3 percent of the net decline. Haiti rose from zero to 2,325 tonnes and Qatar to 1,887, while Gambia fell 99.8 percent and Madagascar fell 65.0 percent in the single year.

France Holds 31.4 Percent While Georgia Leads Per Person

The 2023 table is led by France at 21,751 tonnes, with Myanmar second at 10,469 and Peru third at 6,596. Georgia and New Zealand complete the top five at 6,585 and 4,313 tonnes, respectively.

The top three reporters accounted for 56.0 percent of the listed total, the top five 71.8 percent and the top ten 88.9 percent. Per capita, Georgia's 4.74 grams per person per day lead Bhutan at 4.22 grams.

The Listed Total Fell 7.6 Percent in 2023

Among the 49 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply decreased from 74,935 tonnes to 69,259 tonnes, a decline of 5,676 tonnes (7.6 percent). The two years share the same 49 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. Madagascar fell 1,807 tonnes (down 65.0 percent), Colombia fell 1,519 tonnes (down 32.2 percent), Ghana fell 1,270 tonnes (down 100.0 percent), New Zealand fell 1,190 tonnes (down 21.6 percent), Niger fell 728 tonnes (down 62.8 percent) and Mongolia fell 494 tonnes (down 24.6 percent).

On the gaining side, Haiti added 1,739 tonnes (up 296.7 percent) and Peru added 512 tonnes (up 8.4 percent). Haiti's 1,739-tonne increase and Peru's 512-tonne gain offset part of the declines, but the largest reductions in Madagascar, Colombia, Ghana and New Zealand kept the overall change negative.

The Five-Year Common Total Fell 10.9 Percent

For the 47 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply fell from 74,177 tonnes to 66,058 tonnes, a decline of 8,119 tonnes (10.9 percent). The 2019 universe includes 49 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 universe includes 49; Cuba and the Solomon Islands, with negligible values in 2019, had no reported 2023 value, while Colombia and Nauru entered with a combined 3,201 tonnes. Mongolia fell 4,495 tonnes (down 74.8 percent), Belgium fell 4,243 tonnes (down 64.7 percent), Gambia fell 1,900 tonnes (down 99.8 percent) and Niger fell 1,165 tonnes (down 73.0 percent).

On the gaining side, Haiti added 2,325 tonnes from a reported zero, Qatar added 1,887 tonnes from a reported zero and Burkina Faso added 1,408 tonnes from a reported zero. New Zealand, by contrast, fell 1,684 tonnes, or 28.1 percent. Mongolia contributes 55.4 percent of the five-year net decline, with Belgium adding the next-largest fall.

What Does the Other Cereals Food Supply Measure?

This article covers the FAO item Cereals n.e.c., meaning cereals not elsewhere classified. Wheat, rice, maize and other separately identified cereal categories are reported outside this item.

The per-capita value expresses the reported food supply in population terms, showing how much was available per person per day. Georgia records the highest value at 4.74 grams.

Other Cereals Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, FAO data recorded 69,259 tonnes of listed other cereals food supply across 49 reporters. France had the largest total at 21,751 tonnes, followed by Myanmar at 10,469 tonnes and Peru at 6,596 tonnes. Georgia had the highest per-capita food supply at 4.74 grams per person per day. These figures represent other cereals available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of how much other cereals people actually ate.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity (Element 5141, tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 665, g/capita/day) for Cereals n.e.c. from 2019 through 2023. The food supply quantity measure represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten, because food available for human consumption is not the same as actual dietary intake. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero.

The reporter universe for this item contains 52 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.

Table quantities are shown in tonnes as reported, without additional rounding. The FAO dataset reports food supply quantity in tonnes and in grams per capita per day. The listed total of 69,259 tonnes is the sum of the 49 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
