Rice Gluten Consumption by Country

Malaysia held 1,760 tonnes of listed rice gluten food supply in 2023, 48.7 percent of a 3,616-tonne total spread across only 5 reporters, just 1.09 times Indonesia at 1,620 tonnes. Malaysia's fall of 683 tonnes exceeds the single-year net decline of 607, and its five-year gain of 723 tonnes exceeds the net increase of 671. No per-capita values are published for this item, so the comparison rests on quantities alone.

Malaysia leads at 1,760 tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 1,620 and Morocco at 205 tonnes, with Guatemala fourth at 31 tonnes and Peru fifth at a fraction of a tonne. Malaysia's lead over Indonesia was 140 tonnes, while Morocco alone supplied 205 tonnes.

Rice Gluten Food Supply at a Glance

• Malaysia had the largest listed rice gluten food supply in 2023 at 1,760 tonnes.
• Indonesia ranked second at 1,620 tonnes, followed by Morocco at 205 tonnes.
• No per-capita values are published for this item in the reference years.
• The listed total was 3,616 tonnes across 5 reporters with reported values.
• Among 3 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed rice gluten food supply increased by 671 tonnes, or 23.0 percent.
• The FAO food supply quantity measure represents food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

Key Takeaways

Only five reporters have a listed 2023 value for rice gluten, making this one of the smallest reporter groups in the dataset. Malaysia and Indonesia together account for 93.5 percent of the listed total, leaving the other three reporters with a relatively small share. The dataset carries no per-capita values for any of them.

Malaysia moved in opposite directions across the two comparison periods, falling 28.0 percent in the single year while gaining 69.7 percent over five years. Guatemala and Peru entered the five-year comparison with small amounts, while Indonesia and Morocco moved modestly in both windows.

Malaysia and Indonesia Differ by 8 Percent at the Top

The 2023 table is led by Malaysia at 1,760 tonnes, with Indonesia second at 1,620 and Morocco third at 205 tonnes. Guatemala and Peru complete the table at 31 tonnes and a fraction of a tonne, respectively. Malaysia holds 48.7 percent of the 3,616-tonne listed total.

The top three reporters accounted for 99.1 percent of the listed total. The gap between first and second is 140 tonnes, about 8 percent of the leader. With no per-capita values published, the quantity ranking is the only view this item offers.

The Listed Total Fell 14.4 Percent in 2023

Among the 5 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply decreased from 4,223 tonnes to 3,616 tonnes, a decline of 607 tonnes (14.4 percent). The two years share the same 5 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. Malaysia fell 683 tonnes (down 28.0 percent) and Guatemala fell 22 tonnes (down 42.1 percent), while Indonesia added 75 tonnes (up 4.9 percent), Morocco added 24 tonnes (up 13.0 percent) and Peru held flat at a fraction of a tonne.

Malaysia's fall from 2,443 to 1,760 tonnes against a net decline of 607 means the remaining reporters partly offset it. Guatemala's fall from 53 to 31 tonnes is the steepest proportional decline among the reporters listed here.

The Five-Year Common Total Rose 23.0 Percent

For the 3 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 2,914 tonnes to 3,585 tonnes, a gain of 671 tonnes (23.0 percent). The 2019 total includes 3 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 5; no reporter left the comparison, while Guatemala and Peru entered with a combined 31 tonnes. Malaysia added 723 tonnes (up 69.7 percent) and Morocco added 82 tonnes (up 67.1 percent), while Indonesia fell 134 tonnes (down 7.6 percent).

Malaysia contributes 107.7 percent of the five-year net increase, so its gain of 723 tonnes exceeds a net total held back by Indonesia's fall. Morocco's rise from 123 to 205 tonnes is the only other five-year gain in the common comparison.

What Does the Rice Gluten Food Supply Measure?

The numbers in this article come from the Rice, gluten item in the FAO Supply Utilization Accounts, recorded as food available for human consumption during the reference year. A rice gluten total of this kind should not be read as an estimate of what people actually ate.

No per-capita values are published for this item in the reference years, so the quantity ranking stands alone without a population-adjusted view.

Rice Gluten Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, FAO Supply Utilization Accounts recorded 3,616 tonnes of listed rice gluten food supply across 5 reporters with reported values. Malaysia had the largest total at 1,760 tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 1,620 and Morocco at 205 tonnes. No per-capita values are published for this item. These figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of rice gluten actually eaten.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity (Element 5141, tonnes) for Rice, gluten from 2019 through 2023. The food supply quantity measure represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten, because food available for human consumption is not the same as actual dietary intake. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero. Per-capita figures (Element 665, g/capita/day) are not published for this item in the reference years.

The reporter universe for this item contains 5 reporters. The tables list reporters only; aggregate rows such as World, regions and China (aggregate) are excluded, while China figures refer to the China reporter. For year-to-year comparisons, only reporters with values in both endpoint years are included in the arithmetic. A zero indicates a displayed value of zero, while an empty cell indicates that no value is available for that reporter and year.

Quantities are shown in tonnes as reported, without additional rounding. The FAO dataset reports food supply quantity in tonnes. The listed total of 3,616 tonnes is the sum of the 5 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
