This page follows the SUA item labelled Spinach 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. In 2023, China had the largest reported spinach food supply at 29,898,724 tonnes, accounting for 94.3 percent of the listed country total. The United States ranked second at 367,068 tonnes and Türkiye third at 169,609 tonnes. China also ranked first per person at 57.58 grams per person per day, ahead of Albania at 23.04 grams. Across 149 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, spinach supply increased by 3.2 percent, while 136 countries with values in both 2019 and 2023 recorded a 13.0 percent increase. These figures represent food available for human consumption, not actual food intake. For spinach, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated 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 152 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 150 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.China Adds a Million

What moved the latest total?
China added 1,042,294 tonnes, up 3.6 percent, exceeding the 980,163-tonne net gain, while France shed 23,158 and the Netherlands 19,234 against it, with Germany shedding 16,402 alongside them.
How did five years net out?
China added 3,833,862 tonnes, up 14.7 percent, more than the 3,635,901-tonne net gain, with Malaysia adding 36,442 tonnes while the Netherlands and United States declined.
Who led per person?
China, at 57.58 grams per person per day in 2023, ahead of Albania at 23.04, while second-placed United States sat far down the per-person table.
Does this supply equal food eaten?
No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.
