Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for processed cheese across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base and are not calculated when that value is zero. The universe counts 166 countries minus aggregates, 164 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 1,179,365 tonnes is the sum of the 164 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who trails El Salvador per person?

Switzerland ranked second at 12.49 grams per person per day, followed by Finland at 8.27 grams and Nicaragua at 8.24 grams.

How concentrated is processed cheese supply?

Germany accounted for 10.3 percent of the 2023 listed total, while the top three together accounted for 30.0 percent.

Who lost most lately?

Uruguay lost 4,725 tonnes, down 89.9 percent in the latest year to 530 tonnes, the deepest single latest-year loss among all countries in the file.

Is this what people actually ate?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption, not actual intake.

Why no five-year rate for Türkiye?

Türkiye rose from a reported zero in 2019 to 120,143 tonnes in 2023, so no percentage change is calculated.
