Pulse Flour Consumption by Country
Minus 95 tonnes: that is the entire net change in listed pulse-flour supply between 2022 and 2023 — 1,065,599 against 1,065,503 across 137 reporters. China's 58,888-tonne climb met Russia's 47,535-tonne slide and Kenya's 26,631-tonne drop almost exactly. Five years tell a livelier story at plus 27.7 percent, with the United States behind 44.3 percent of the net gain. The 2023 total reads 1,065,503 tonnes, led by the United States at 355,551. Norway tops per person at 22.14 grams a day.
The United States' 2023 pulse-flour figure of 355,551 tonnes stands 1.57 times China's 227,136, with Nepal third at 85,626. Norway's 22.14 grams a day head the per-person order, ahead of Nepal at 7.9 and Haiti at 7.04. First goes to the United States at 355,551 tonnes — a 33.4 percent slice of 1,065,503 — then 227,136 for China and 85,626 for Nepal. Spain (47,517) and Russia (46,199) trail. Three reporters cover 62.7 percent between them, five cover 71.5 percent and ten cover 86.5 percent. Norway turns sixth place by volume into first per person at 22.14 grams a day; Nepal reads 7.9 and Haiti 7.04. Of the 134 reporters holding values in both 2019 and 2023, the total climbed from 834,548 tonnes to 1,065,503 — higher by 230,955 tonnes, or 27.7 percent. Seven reporters carrying 34 tonnes between them dropped out while four joined at zero. The United States climbed 102,293 tonnes (40.4 percent), or 44.3 percent of the net climb, with Poland leaping from 1,975 to 32,363 tonnes, China from 197,673 to 227,136 (14.9 percent), Thailand from 3,147 to 27,862, Norway from 24,454 to 44,599 (82.4 percent) and Kenya from 485.63 to 19,530; Germany rose 12,541 (135.0 percent) while France slid 10,472 (52.9 percent). Of the 137 reporters holding values in both 2022 and 2023, the total slipped from 1,065,599 tonnes to 1,065,503 — lower by 95 tonnes, effectively unchanged, with Micronesia joining at 0.06 tonnes and nobody going out. China rose 58,888 tonnes (35.0 percent) and the United States 23,299 (7.0 percent), while Russia slid 47,535 (50.7 percent) and Kenya 26,631 (57.7 percent); Thailand slipped 12,420 (30.8 percent) and Poland 11,127 (25.6 percent), with Norway rising 6,224 (16.2 percent) and Liberia 6,018 from 11.64 tonnes. Pulse flour makes up its own FAO item — apart from grain flours and whole pulses, which never enter these figures. These tallies track food available for human consumption in the reference year; per-day grams per person state the same supply against population. The United States' 355,551 tonnes led China's 227,136 for the largest 2023 listed pulse-flour supply — 33.4 percent of 1,065,503 tonnes across 138 reporters. Nepal ran third at 85,626 tonnes. Norway's 22.14 grams a day headed the per-person ranking. These tallies represent food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten. Percentages divide by the earlier of the two endpoint years, across reporters holding values in both. Tonnes are FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity); daily grams per person are element 665 — for flour of pulses, 2019 through 2023. Food available for human consumption in the reference year is the object counted, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing. Reporter-only tables here — 144 held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — drop World, regional and China (aggregate) rows; China is the China reporter. Tonnes mirror FAO's publication, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 1,065,503 tonnes totals the 138 reporters with a 2023 value.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
What netted minus 95 tonnes in a year?
China climbed 58,888 tonnes in 2022-2023 while Russia slid 47,535 and Kenya 26,631 — the United States climbing 23,299 against slides in Thailand and Poland. Those moves net to minus 95 tonnes.
What grew sixteen- and forty-fold in five years?
Poland climbed from 1,975 tonnes in 2019 to 32,363 in 2023, Thailand from 3,147 to 27,862 and Kenya from 485.63 to 19,530. Tiny starting points make the multiples huge; the tonnages stay modest.
Why is Norway first per person from sixth place?
Norway's 44,599 tonnes correspond to 22.14 grams a day per person, the highest figure shown. The volume ranking compares reporter totals; the per-person ranking relates each total to population.
