Which country consumes the most pears? China had the largest reported pear food supply in 2023, at 16,671,428 tonnes, representing 78.9 percent of the listed total across reporting countries. It also ranked first in per-person supply, at 32.11 grams per person per day, ahead of Belarus at 31.93 grams and Hong Kong at 23.14 grams. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.
China Holds Four-Fifths
China led, 46.55 times the United States. Italy sat third at 306,572 tonnes, ahead of Argentina at 289,894 and India at 260,856. The top three held 82.1 percent of the 21,122,714-tonne total, and the top five 84.7 percent. Of all 175 countries in the file, 173 carried a 2023 value.
Across the 172 countries with reported values in both 2022 and 2023, supply grew 1.1 percent, from 20,885,638 tonnes, a gain of 237,076. China added 477,278 tonnes, up 2.9 percent, exceeding the net rise alone. Italy shed 210,017 tonnes, down 40.7 percent. Vietnam added 58,984 tonnes, more than doubling from 44,492 tonnes. Ukraine shed 56,760 tonnes, down 57.9 percent. Belgium added 52,145 tonnes from 9,827. South Korea shed 51,183 tonnes, down 28.5 percent, while Portugal added 41,674 tonnes, more than tripling from 18,439 tonnes. Among the 171 countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, supply grew 10.1 percent, from 19,181,960 tonnes, a gain of 1,940,704. China added 2,292,270 tonnes, up 15.9 percent, exceeding the net rise alone. Türkiye shed 110,118 tonnes, down 59.3 percent. Ukraine shed 96,848 tonnes, down 70.1 percent. Vietnam added 75,778 tonnes, nearly quadrupling from 27,698 tonnes. Belgium added 46,238 tonnes, nearly quadrupling from 15,734 tonnes. Argentina added 45,956 tonnes, up 18.8 percent. Two countries left over the period, against two arrivals. Argentina sat fourth at 289,894 tonnes, adding 40,350 tonnes in the latest year. Russia, sixth at 219,087 tonnes, shed 76,890 over five years, down 26.0 percent. Germany, seventh at 187,897 tonnes, sits outside the per-person top ten. France, eighth at 176,528 tonnes, sits outside the per-person top ten as well. Indonesia sat ninth at 154,454 tonnes. Brazil closed the top ten at 139,236 tonnes. China's 32.11 grams a day topped the per-person table, ahead of Belarus at 31.93 and Hong Kong at 23.14. Argentina ranked fourth at 17.44 grams, followed by Albania at 16.51 and Portugal at 15.79. Belgium reported 14.50 grams and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 14.48 grams, with Italy at 14.12 and Lebanon at 13.78. China therefore led by total volume as well as per person. For pears, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds 175 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 173 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How dominant is China in the pear supply data?
China accounted for 78.9 percent of the listed 2023 total, with 16,671,428 tonnes compared with 358,170 tonnes in the United States in the same listed table that year.
Did global pear supply increase in 2023?
The comparable-country total increased by 237,076 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, or 1.1 percent over the annual comparison period, with China adding 477,278 tonnes over the year.
Which countries gained the most pear supply over five years?
China recorded the largest absolute increase, adding 2,292,270 tonnes between 2019 and 2023. Vietnam and Belgium also posted substantial increases over the five-year comparison period.
Does China lead in both total and per-person supply?
Yes. China ranked first by listed volume in 2023 and by per-person supply in the same listed table, with Belarus second per person that year.
Do these figures represent pears actually eaten?
No. FAO food-supply figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not the amount of pears actually eaten as dietary intake in each year.
