The 99-country common universe fell 5,791 tonnes (-5.4 percent) between 2020 and 2024 while the United States moved only from 36,792 to 36,876 tonnes; between 2023 and 2024 it rose 21,143 tonnes (+26.9 percent) with the United States adding 8,256 tonnes. The two windows point in opposite directions because the reporter coverage and country-level changes differ between the periods.

The United States holds 36.3 percent of the listed 2024 total, about 5.07 times Canada; the top three together hold 50.0 percent, the top five 61.6 percent and the top ten 77.1 percent. Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France and Spain cluster in North America and Europe behind the leader, while China (3,215 tonnes) is the only Asian buyer above 3,000 tonnes and Türkiye (520.38 tonnes) buys at a far smaller scale.

Across the 99 countries reporting in both years, total imports fell from 107,294 tonnes in 2020 to 101,503 tonnes in 2024, a change of -5,791 tonnes (-5.4 percent).

Methodology

Two windows, two answers: that is why this note defines the comparison universe before any number is read. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for quinoa imports, 2020-2024. Change arithmetic admits only countries reporting quantities in both compared years; the ranking and all shares rest on 2024 listed quantities. Displayed quantities keep two decimals below 1,000 tonnes and whole tonnes above; values are full current US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. The 2024 quinoa imports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the quinoa imports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. Countries entering or leaving the listed set are shown separately. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can apply, and unreconciled bilateral pairs mean an import record and its mirror export may disagree.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does direction depend on the window here?

The 99-country common universe fell 5,791 tonnes between 2020 and 2024 but rose 21,143 tonnes between 2023 and 2024. Neither window is wrong; the 2020-2024 comparison includes substantial declines in France (-2,909 tonnes) and Canada (-1,844 tonnes) while the 2023-2024 comparison carries the United States' rebound (+8,256 tonnes).

How should Türkiye's rise be read?

Türkiye moved from 21.01 tonnes in 2020 to 520.38 tonnes in 2024, an increase of about 499 tonnes. A percentage off a 21-tonne base would run near 2,400 percent while describing about 499 tonnes, so the rise appears in absolute terms with both endpoints shown.

Why did Taiwan fall so far in one year?

Taiwan fell from 1,483 tonnes in 2023 to 402 tonnes in 2024, a loss of 1,081 tonnes (down 72.9 percent). Both endpoint quantities are reported for this quinoa comparison, so the change is included; the dataset does not assign a cause.

What does this quinoa imports series not show?

This dataset does not cover production, stocks, domestic use, or processing; it records reporter-level import quantities and values, so its comparisons stay on the import side.
