Methodology

For plantains and cooking bananas, 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. Uganda leads both by total supply and per person, while Nigeria falls to a reported zero and Guatemala rises from zero. The file holds 145 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 140 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who led plantain supply?

Uganda led in 2023 with 10,019,427 tonnes, equal to 28.0 percent of the listed total. Ghana followed with 4,083,791 tonnes and the Democratic Republic of the Congo with 3,732,000.

What changed in the latest year?

The comparable total increased 1.1 percent from 2022 to 2023. Guatemala rose from a reported zero to 402,642 tonnes, while Saudi Arabia lost 138,066 tonnes and Uganda lost 128,244.

What changed over five years?

Among the comparable countries, listed supply increased 1.1 percent from 2019 to 2023. Uganda added 1,525,438 tonnes, while Nigeria fell from 2,827,164 tonnes to a reported zero.

Who had the highest supply per person?

Uganda ranked first in 2023 at 564.17 grams per person per day, followed by Sao Tome and Principe at 409.77 grams and Ghana at 331.14 grams.

Does this supply equal food eaten?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.
