Pimento Consumption by Country

In 2023, India had the largest listed food supply of pimento among 156 reporters, at 1,886 thousand tonnes, while Bosnia and Herzegovina had the highest per-capita figure at 7.44 kilograms per person per year. The 2023 listed total was 4,929 thousand tonnes, with Bangladesh second at 627 thousand tonnes and Thailand third at 400 thousand tonnes. The series spans 2019 through 2023, although some reporters have missing values for individual years.

India leads the 2023 ranking at 1,886 thousand tonnes, 3.01 times Bangladesh at 627 thousand tonnes. Bosnia and Herzegovina tops the per-capita ranking at 7.44 kilograms per person per year from 24 thousand tonnes, ahead of Jamaica at 6.47 kilograms.

Pimento Food Supply at a Glance

• India had the largest listed pimento food supply in 2023 at 1,886 thousand tonnes.
• Bangladesh ranked second at 627 thousand tonnes, followed by Thailand at 400 thousand tonnes.
• Bosnia and Herzegovina had the highest per-capita food supply at 7.44 kilograms per person per year.
• The 2023 listed total was 4,929 thousand tonnes across 156 reporters with reported values.
• Among 155 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed pimento food supply increased by 1,377 thousand tonnes, or 38.8 percent.
• The FAO Food element measures food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

Key Takeaways

India remained far ahead of the other reporters in 2023, with Bangladesh and Thailand forming a distant second tier. Ethiopia and the United States followed the top three, while Bosnia and Herzegovina stood out on a per-capita basis despite a much smaller total supply. The gap between total and per-capita rankings shows how population size substantially changes the picture when pimento food supply is viewed on an individual basis.

Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 156 reporters with data in both years rose by 719 thousand tonnes, or 17.1 percent. India and Bangladesh accounted for most of the largest increases, while China and Pakistan recorded notable declines. Since 2019, the common-reporter total has grown 38.8 percent, with India contributing 53.5 percent of the net increase. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of pimento actually eaten.

Pimento Consumption by Country in 2023

The 2023 table is led by India, whose listed food supply of pimento reached 1,886 thousand tonnes. Bangladesh followed with 627 thousand tonnes and Thailand with 400 thousand tonnes. Ethiopia and the United States completed the top five at 250 and 169 thousand tonnes, respectively.

India holds 38.3 percent of the 4,929-thousand-tonne listed total. The top three reporters accounted for 59.1 percent of the listed total, while the top five represented 67.6 percent and the top ten 79.9 percent. Bangladesh nearly quadrupled from 160 thousand tonnes in 2019.

India Adds 646 Thousand Tonnes as Supply Grows 17.1 Percent Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 156 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 4,210 thousand tonnes to 4,929 thousand tonnes, a gain of 719 thousand tonnes (17.1 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 156 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. India added 646 thousand tonnes (up 52.1 percent), Bangladesh added 65 thousand tonnes (up 11.6 percent), Ethiopia added 53 thousand tonnes (up 26.9 percent), South Korea added 21 thousand tonnes (up 700.0 percent), the United States added 12 thousand tonnes (up 7.6 percent) and Kazakhstan added 9 thousand tonnes (up 81.8 percent), while China fell 46 thousand tonnes (down 24.3 percent) and Pakistan fell 35 thousand tonnes (down 27.3 percent).

India and Bangladesh Drive 38.8 Percent Growth Since 2019

For the 155 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 3,552 thousand tonnes to 4,929 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,377 thousand tonnes (38.8 percent). The 2019 total includes 156 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 156; Cuba, with a reported zero in 2019, had no reported 2023 value, while Nauru entered with a reported zero. India added 737 thousand tonnes (up 64.1 percent), Bangladesh added 467 thousand tonnes (up 291.9 percent), Ivory Coast added 85 thousand tonnes (up 212.5 percent), the United States added 37 thousand tonnes (up 28.0 percent), Thailand added 35 thousand tonnes (up 9.6 percent) and Nepal added 28 thousand tonnes (up 51.9 percent), while China fell 101 thousand tonnes (down 41.4 percent) and Ethiopia fell 35 thousand tonnes (down 12.3 percent).

India and Bangladesh together account for 87.4 percent of the five-year net increase. Per capita, Bosnia and Herzegovina's 7.44 kilograms from 24 thousand tonnes lead Jamaica at 6.47 kilograms, while India, first by total, records 1.31 kilograms.

What Does the Pimento Food Supply Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the figure used here is the FAO item Pimento 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 the amount of pimento people actually ate. Other spices recorded under separate 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.

Pimento Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, India had the largest listed food supply of pimento among the 156 reporters with reported values, at 1,886 thousand tonnes. Bangladesh ranked second at 627 thousand tonnes, while Thailand ranked third at 400 thousand tonnes. Bosnia and Herzegovina had the highest per-capita pimento food supply at 7.44 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures describe food available for human consumption and should not be interpreted as the amount of pimento 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 Pimento 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 157 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 4,929 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 156 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
