Key Takeaways

In 2023, China led listed other citrus food supply at 4,950 thousand tonnes, with Nigeria second at 3,881 thousand tonnes and India third at 658 thousand tonnes. Angola followed at 448 thousand tonnes and Guinea at 222 thousand tonnes. Nigeria's 17.03 kilograms per person per year lead the per-capita ranking, followed by Guinea at 15.39 kilograms.

Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 156 reporters with data in both years moved from 11,784 thousand tonnes to 11,787 thousand tonnes, a gain of just 3 thousand tonnes (0.0 percent). Since 2019, the common-reporter total has fallen 4.7 percent, with Colombia's 520-thousand-tonne exit accounting for 89.8 percent of the net decline. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of other citrus actually eaten.

Other Citrus Consumption by Country in 2023

China holds 4,950 thousand tonnes, or 42.0 percent of the 11,787-thousand-tonne listed total. Nigeria follows at 3,881 thousand tonnes (32.9 percent) and India at 658 thousand tonnes (5.6 percent), with Angola fourth at 448 thousand tonnes and Guinea fifth at 222 thousand tonnes.

The top three reporters account for 80.5 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 86.2 percent and the top ten account for 91.7 percent. China and Nigeria together hold nearly three-quarters of the listed total.

Supply Essentially Unchanged as 156 Reporters Move 3 Thousand Tonnes Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 156 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply moved from 11,784 thousand tonnes to 11,787 thousand tonnes, a gain of 3 thousand tonnes (0.0 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 156 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. Angola added 27 thousand tonnes (up 6.4 percent), China added 21 thousand tonnes (up 0.4 percent), Mexico added 17 thousand tonnes (up 16.7 percent), the United States added 17 thousand tonnes (up 25.4 percent), Türkiye added 13 thousand tonnes (up 144.4 percent) and Nigeria added 12 thousand tonnes (up 0.3 percent), while India fell 59 thousand tonnes (down 8.2 percent) and Nepal fell 11 thousand tonnes (down 52.4 percent).

Colombia Records Zero as Listed Supply Falls 4.7 Percent Since 2019

For the 153 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply fell from 12,366 thousand tonnes to 11,787 thousand tonnes, a decline of 579 thousand tonnes (4.7 percent). The 2019 total includes 156 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 156; Cuba, Kiribati and Maldives, with a combined 5 thousand tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value, while Bhutan, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Tonga entered with reported zeros. Colombia fell from 520 thousand tonnes to a reported zero (down 100.0 percent), China fell 313 thousand tonnes (down 5.9 percent), India fell 283 thousand tonnes (down 30.1 percent) and Afghanistan fell 68 thousand tonnes (down 70.8 percent), while Nigeria added 219 thousand tonnes (up 6.0 percent), Saudi Arabia added 97 thousand tonnes (up 3,233.3 percent), Mexico added 69 thousand tonnes (up 138.0 percent) and Angola added 68 thousand tonnes (up 17.9 percent).

Colombia's decline from 520 thousand tonnes to a reported zero accounts for 89.8 percent of the five-year net decline, with China and India adding a combined 596 thousand tonnes in further drag. Nigeria is the only reporter in both top twos: second by total at 3,881 thousand tonnes and first per capita at 17.03 kilograms. Per capita, Guinea follows at 15.39 kilograms, while China, first by total, records 3.48 kilograms.

What Does Other Citrus Consumption Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the citrus other figure used here covers the FAO item Citrus, Other 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 of these fruits people actually consumed. Separate FAO items for oranges, lemons and grapefruit are not included in 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.

Other Citrus Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, according to FAO Food Balances, China had the largest listed other citrus food supply among the 156 reporters with reported values, at 4,950 thousand tonnes. Nigeria ranked second at 3,881 thousand tonnes, while India ranked third at 658 thousand tonnes. Nigeria had the highest per-capita other citrus food supply at 17.03 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of other citrus 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 Citrus, Other 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. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero.

The reporter universe for this item contains 159 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 11,787 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 156 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happened to Colombia's other citrus food supply?

Colombia recorded 520 thousand tonnes in 2019 and a reported zero in 2023. The 520-thousand-tonne exit accounts for 89.8 percent of the 579-thousand-tonne net decline across reporters with data in both years.

Why does Nigeria rank high by both total and per-capita citrus?

Nigeria ranked second by total at 3,881 thousand tonnes and first per capita at 17.03 kilograms per person in 2023. Guinea followed per capita at 15.39 kilograms, while China, first by total, recorded 3.48 kilograms.

Is other citrus food supply the same as citrus eaten?

No. The FAO Food element measures the quantity available for human consumption in the food balance. It does not directly measure how much people actually ate, because food can be lost or wasted after it becomes available to consumers.
