Rape or Colza Seed Consumption by Country
Kenya led rape or colza seed food supply in 2023 with 14,624 tonnes, accounting for 62.2 percent of the 23,517-tonne total listed by StatsGeo. Tunisia ranked second at 3,219 tonnes, narrowly ahead of Nigeria at 3,200 tonnes. Kenya and Tunisia also shared the highest reported per-person value, at 0.72 grams per day. Nigeria rose from zero in 2022 to third place, while the Democratic Republic of the Congo recorded zero in 2023 after reporting 5,679 tonnes in 2019. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
Kenya Leads by Total Supply
Kenya led at 14,624 tonnes, 4.54 times Tunisia. Tunisia and Nigeria sat almost level, separated by 19 tonnes, and Afghanistan followed fourth at 1,890. Vietnam took fifth at 461 tonnes. The top three held 89.5 percent of the 23,517-tonne total, and the top five 99.5 percent, so the remaining twenty countries split a sliver. Syria posted 45 tonnes and Iraq held 24. Of 38 countries in the file, 25 carried a 2023 value.
Across the 25 countries with reported values in both 2022 and 2023, listed supply grew 35.8 percent, from 17,320 tonnes, a gain of about 6,197 tonnes. Nigeria added 3,200 tonnes from a zero base, landing straight in third place. Tunisia added 2,109 tonnes, up 190.0 percent from 1,110 tonnes. Vietnam added 401 tonnes, more than sevenfold from 60, while Afghanistan gained 380 tonnes. Kenya edged up by 87 tonnes. Botswana fell 98.9 percent to 0.35 tonnes from 30.63, and Iraq shed about 29 tonnes. Vietnam rose from 12 tonnes in 2019 to 461 in 2023, adding 401 in the latest year alone, the third-largest single-year gain. Its 670.7 percent latest-year rise topped the table by percentage, though from a base of 60 tonnes. Per person, Vietnam sat at 0.01 grams, near the bottom, showing how a mid-table volume can vanish per head. Afghanistan, fourth at 1,890 tonnes, added 380 over the latest year. Among the 13 countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, listed supply fell 62.3 percent, from 9,919 tonnes to 3,741 tonnes, a loss of about 6,178 tonnes. The Democratic Republic of the Congo accounted for nearly all of the decline, falling from 5,679 tonnes to zero. This reported zero is worth checking against the original FAOSTAT record because the earlier value was substantial. Thailand fell from 908 tonnes to 14 tonnes, while Vietnam rose from 12 to 461 tonnes. Twelve countries had a 2023 value but no 2019 value, together accounting for about 19,776 tonnes. Eight countries had a 2019 value but no 2023 value; a missing value does not establish that supply was zero. Kenya and Tunisia shared the per-person lead at 0.72 grams a day each. Afghanistan followed at 0.12 grams and Nigeria at 0.04, so the volume leader's nearest rival matched it per person while ranking far lower by tonnage. Twenty countries carried a 2023 per-person value, the same country set as the tonnage table, since reported zeros still convert. Syria and Vietnam sat at 0.01 grams. This page follows the SUA item labelled Rape or colza seed and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are not in the table. The annual listed supply total sums the countries with a 2023 value. Food here means supply available for people to eat in the reference year, not amounts eaten. For rape or colza seed, tonnage follows FAOSTAT element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 for 2019-2023. Percentage changes are calculated from the earlier year's value; no percentage change is reported from a zero base. Year-to-year comparisons include only countries with values in both years. A reported zero is distinct from a blank, which indicates no value in the supplied data. The file contains 38 country rows after removing World, regional and aggregate rows, with 25 countries reporting a 2023 value for each measure. The figures describe food available for human consumption, not actual intake. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.Nigeria Arrives, Tunisia Returns

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Who led rape seed supply?
Kenya, with 14,624 tonnes in 2023, or 62.2 percent of the listed total in the same table, 4.54 times Tunisia at 3,219 tonnes in the same listed table that year, with Nigeria close behind in third.
How did Nigeria reach third?
Nigeria rose from zero in 2022 to 3,200 tonnes in 2023; with a zero base no percentage applies in that year, and the gain supplied over half the 6,197-tonne net rise.
What happened to Congolese supply?
The Democratic Republic of the Congo fell from 5,679 tonnes in 2019 to zero in 2023, driving nearly all of the 6,178-tonne five-year loss in the continuing table over the period.
Who led per person?
Kenya and Tunisia tied at 0.72 grams per person per day each in 2023, ahead of Afghanistan at 0.12, among 25 countries with a per-person value that year.
Does this supply equal food eaten?
No. The figures measure the reported food available for human consumption in the reference year, not the amount of rape seed actually eaten by individual people in each year.
