Other Pome Fruits Consumption by Country
In 2023, Uzbekistan had the largest reported food supply of other pome fruits, at 36,361 tonnes, accounting for 26.0 percent of the 139,599-tonne total across countries with a reported value. Spain ranked second at 30,649 tonnes, followed by France at 29,128 tonnes. Romania had the highest food supply per person, at 3.83 grams per day, ahead of Uzbekistan at 2.79 grams. These FAO figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Romania sat fourth at 26,700 tonnes, with Portugal fifth at 8,913 and Hungary sixth at 3,001. Italy, Poland, Latvia and Ukraine trailed between 567 and 1,426 tonnes. The top three held 68.9 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top five 94.4 percent. Uzbekistan had the highest listed food supply, while Romania had the highest per-capita food supply. Portugal added 2,253 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, climbing 33.8 percent to 8,913 tonnes. Spain added 651 tonnes, up 2.2 percent, and Ukraine 71 tonnes, up 14.3 percent. France shed 1,018 tonnes, down 3.4 percent to 29,128 tonnes. Uzbekistan gave up 312 tonnes, down 0.9 percent. Hungary lost 153 tonnes, down 4.9 percent, and Romania 110 tonnes, down 0.4 percent. The 14 countries with values in both years increased their combined total from 138,379 tonnes in 2022 to 139,569 tonnes in 2023, a gain of 1,190 tonnes, or 0.9 percent. The Czech Republic added another 30 tonnes to the 2023 total as a newly reporting country. Between 2019 and 2023, the 11 countries present in both years slipped from 108,967 tonnes to 107,715 tonnes, down 1,252 tonnes, or 1.1 percent. Portugal added 2,379 tonnes, up 36.4 percent. Latvia added 751 tonnes from a small base. Romania shed 2,370 tonnes, down 8.2 percent, and Spain 2,074 tonnes, down 6.3 percent. Uzbekistan lost 417 tonnes, down 1.1 percent. Four countries with no reported value in 2019 contributed a combined 31,884 tonnes in 2023, more than offsetting the 1,252-tonne decline among the 11 countries with values in both years, and none left. Romania's 3.83 grams a day led the table, with Uzbekistan second at 2.79 and Portugal third at 2.34. Spain recorded 1.75 grams and Latvia 1.44, ahead of France at 1.20. Hungary sat at 0.85 grams. The rankings differ by measure: Uzbekistan led in total tonnage, while Romania ranked first on a per-person basis. These figures describe reported food supply rather than confirmed individual intake. Pome fruits beyond apples and pears fall into this small group, counted as food available for human consumption in tonnes and daily grams per person from 2019 to 2023. Yearly totals admit only reporting countries, so the four arrivals visibly lift the headline figure. Tonnage reflects orchard scale; the per-person column reflects daily habits. In a 16-country dataset, a single new reporter changes the picture more than any harvest swing. Latvia's reported supply increased by 751 tonnes between 2019 and 2023, a 311.8 percent rise from a relatively small starting value. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts use element 5141 for tonnage for human consumption and element 665 for grams per person per day, shown for other pome fruits over 2019-2023. Every rate takes the earlier year as its base, and zero bases earn no rate. Sixteen countries make the universe after aggregates leave, 15 with 2023 values. Only countries holding values at both endpoints feed a comparison. The 2023 listed total of 139,599 tonnes sums every country reporting that year. Reported zeros differ from blanks, and sub-1,000 entries show two decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the highest other pome fruit supply per person?
Romania ranked first in 2023 at 3.83 grams per person per day, followed by Uzbekistan at 2.79 grams and Portugal at 2.34 grams in the same table.
How concentrated was the 2023 supply?
Uzbekistan accounted for 26.0 percent of the 139,599-tonne total. The three largest countries, Uzbekistan, Spain and France, together represented 68.9 percent, while the top five accounted for 94.4 percent.
How much did Portugal's supply increase over five years?
Portugal's reported supply rose by 2,379 tonnes, or 36.4 percent, between 2019 and 2023. Across the 11 countries with values in both years, the combined total fell by 1.1 percent over the period.
Do these figures show how much people actually ate?
No. FAO food supply figures estimate food available for human consumption in the reference year; they do not directly measure the amount people actually consumed in that year.
How did newly reporting countries affect the 2023 total?
Four countries without reported values in 2019 contributed 31,884 tonnes in 2023. That addition outweighed the 1,252-tonne decline among the 11 countries reported at both endpoints in the dataset.
