Soya Curd Consumption by Country

Per person, Taiwan's soya-curd supply dwarfed South Korea's. The volume order matched in 2023: Taiwan 440,982 tonnes and South Korea 199,037. That was 68.9 percent against 31.1 percent of the 640,019-tonne total. Only two countries report this item at all. All figures count food available for human consumption, not actual intake.

In 2023, Taiwan had the highest listed soya-curd supply, at 440,982 tonnes and 51.81 grams per person per day, ahead of South Korea at 199,037 tonnes and 10.54 grams. No third country appears in the window. The per-person gap, 4.92 times, runs wider than the volume gap of 2.22 times. In 2019 the split was 70.8 percent Taiwan against 29.2 percent South Korea, so the order never changed.

Soya Curd: Two Countries, One Order

• Taiwan led South Korea by 241,945 tonnes in 2023.
• South Korea was the only country to rise over five years, adding 6,192 tonnes.
• Both countries show per-person values in every window year.

The Most Recent Soya Curd Year

Both countries reported in 2022 and 2023, so the common total is the annual total: 647,208 tonnes became 640,019, a loss of 7,189 tonnes or 1.1 percent. Taiwan slipped 3,637 tonnes (0.8 percent down) and South Korea 3,552 (1.8 percent down), so both moved the same way. The 2022 split, 68.7 percent Taiwan and 31.3 percent South Korea, was nearly identical to 2023.

Soya Curd Over the Longer Run

The two countries also cover the whole five-year span. Their 2019 total of 659,302 tonnes fell by 19,283 tonnes, or 2.9 percent. Taiwan fell by 25,475 tonnes (-5.5%), while South Korea's 6,192-tonne increase offset about 32.1% of that decline. Taiwan started at 466,457 tonnes, while South Korea ranged from 192,845 to 202,589 tonnes.

How Soya Curd Compares Per Person

Taiwan's 51.81 grams a day was 4.92 times South Korea's 10.54, a wider gap than the 2.22 times in tonnage. Both series run unbroken across the window, and neither country ever left the table. Taiwan opened the window at 53.98 grams per person per day.

What the Soya Curd Data Measures

This page follows the SUA item labelled Soya curd and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are not in the table. The item is reported in only two countries, so the annual total and the common total are the same. Food here means supply available for people to eat in the reference year, not amounts eaten.

A Soya Curd Detail Worth Keeping

Taiwan's per-person supply never fell below 51.64 grams in the window, and South Korea's never below 10.21. Two countries, same order, every year: the table barely moves.

Methodology

For this item, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665, both across 2019 to 2023. Rates are measured from the earlier year; none is given from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds two countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; both carry 2023 values. This item is reported in only two countries. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.
