Other Vegetables Consumption by Country
In 2023, China had the largest listed other vegetables food supply among 176 reporters, at 508,710 thousand tonnes, while China also had the highest per-capita figure at 357.60 kilograms per person per year. The 2023 listed total was 892,346 thousand tonnes, with India second at 89,870 thousand tonnes and the United States third at 28,922 thousand tonnes. The series spans 2019 through 2023, although some reporters have missing values in individual years.
China leads the 2023 ranking at 508,710 thousand tonnes, 5.66 times India at 89,870 thousand tonnes, and also leads per capita at 357.60 kilograms per person per year. Croatia follows per capita at 288.62 kilograms from 1,124 thousand tonnes. In 2023, China led listed other vegetables food supply at 508,710 thousand tonnes, with India second at 89,870 thousand tonnes and the United States third at 28,922 thousand tonnes. Vietnam followed at 18,472 thousand tonnes and Indonesia at 10,542 thousand tonnes. China's 357.60 kilograms per person per year lead the per-capita ranking, followed by Croatia at 288.62 kilograms. Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 176 reporters with data in both years rose from 881,535 thousand tonnes to 892,346 thousand tonnes, a gain of 10,811 thousand tonnes (1.2 percent), with China adding 6,568 thousand tonnes and Iran rebounding 2,088 thousand tonnes. Since 2019, the common-reporter total has grown 5.4 percent, with China contributing 60.6 percent of the increase. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of other vegetables actually eaten. China holds 508,710 thousand tonnes, or 57.0 percent of the 892,346-thousand-tonne listed total. India follows at 89,870 thousand tonnes (10.1 percent) and the United States at 28,922 thousand tonnes (3.2 percent), with Vietnam fourth at 18,472 thousand tonnes and Indonesia fifth at 10,542 thousand tonnes. The top three reporters account for 70.3 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 73.6 percent and the top ten account for 79.1 percent. China alone holds more than half of the listed total. Among the 176 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 881,535 thousand tonnes to 892,346 thousand tonnes, a gain of 10,811 thousand tonnes (1.2 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 176 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. China added 6,568 thousand tonnes (up 1.3 percent), Iran added 2,088 thousand tonnes (up 71.2 percent), India added 1,805 thousand tonnes (up 2.0 percent), Mexico added 1,554 thousand tonnes (up 40.9 percent), Vietnam added 1,210 thousand tonnes (up 7.0 percent) and Algeria added 877 thousand tonnes (up 14.5 percent), while the United States fell 1,307 thousand tonnes (down 4.3 percent) and Iraq fell 799 thousand tonnes (down 33.4 percent). For the 176 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 847,026 thousand tonnes to 892,346 thousand tonnes, a gain of 45,320 thousand tonnes (5.4 percent). The 2019 total includes 177 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 176; Cuba, with 1,399 thousand tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value. China added 27,486 thousand tonnes (up 5.7 percent), India added 5,201 thousand tonnes (up 6.1 percent), Vietnam added 2,384 thousand tonnes (up 14.8 percent), Bangladesh added 1,210 thousand tonnes (up 29.8 percent), Pakistan added 1,127 thousand tonnes (up 31.8 percent), Algeria added 895 thousand tonnes (up 14.9 percent) and Zimbabwe added 865 thousand tonnes (up 157.3 percent), while Russia fell 1,208 thousand tonnes (down 11.0 percent). China's gain is worth 60.6 percent of the five-year net increase, with India adding 11.5 percent. Iran's path runs 5,359 to 2,934 to 5,022 thousand tonnes across 2019, 2022 and 2023. Per capita, China's 357.60 kilograms lead Croatia at 288.62 kilograms. For FAO Food Balances, the vegetables other figure used here covers vegetables outside the separately recorded vegetable items, 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 vegetables people actually consumed. Vegetables recorded under their own items sit outside 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. In 2023, China had the largest listed other vegetables food supply at 508,710 thousand tonnes, followed by India at 89,870 thousand tonnes and the United States at 28,922 thousand tonnes. China also had the highest per-capita figure at 357.60 kilograms per person per year, followed by Croatia at 288.62 kilograms. Across the 176 reporters with 2023 values, the listed total was 892,346 thousand tonnes. These FAO Food Balances figures measure food available for human consumption and are not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten. 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 Vegetables, 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 177 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 892,346 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 176 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.Other Vegetables Food Supply at a Glance

Other Vegetables Consumption by Country: Quick Answer
Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the five-year increase comes from China?
China added 27,486 thousand tonnes between 2019 and 2023, or 60.6 percent of the 45,320-thousand-tonne net increase. India added 5,201 thousand tonnes against Russia's 1,208-thousand-tonne decline.
Why does China lead other vegetables food supply per person?
China recorded 357.60 kilograms per person in 2023 from a listed food supply of 508,710 thousand tonnes. Croatia followed at 288.62 kilograms per person from 1,124 thousand tonnes.
Is other vegetables food supply the same as vegetables 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.
