What Does Sugar Confectionery Cover?

The FAO item covers sugar confectionery, a category of sweets that includes products such as boiled sweets, toffees, marshmallows and fondant. It is separate from raw and refined sugars, which have their own FAO items. Food supply quantity captures what was available for human consumption during the reference year. The gram-per-day figure spreads that availability across the population on a daily basis.

Sugar Confectionery Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

The United States had the largest 2023 listed supply of sugar confectionery at 611,878 tonnes, equal to 17.0% of the 3,590,489-tonne total. Gambia had the highest per-capita figure at 28.43 grams per person per day. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.

Methodology

One hundred seventy-seven reporters holding a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 make the universe; reporters alone populate the tables, with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows outside the count and China standing for the China reporter. All percentages use the earlier endpoint year as base across reporters present in both years. Zero-base years give no percentage, and percentages from tiny bases should be read with the base alongside.

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity in both measures — element 5141 in tonnes for totals, element 665 in grams per capita per day — covers sugar confectionery over 2019-2023. The measured object is availability for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. A reported zero is treated as zero, while a blank value indicates that no value was reported. The 2023 listed total of 3,590,489 tonnes sums the 176 reporters with a 2023 value, in tonnes as published.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did China fall 83.6 percent in five years?

China reported 176,484 tonnes in 2019 and 28,866 in 2023, a fall of 147,618 tonnes. The figures record the size of the fall, not what caused it.

Why does the United States account for only 17 percent of the total?

The United States reported 611,878 tonnes, compared with 229,909 tonnes in second-place South Africa. The top ten together accounted for 46.9 percent, so the 2023 supply was spread across a relatively broad group of reporters.

Which countries recorded the largest percentage increases from small bases?

Belgium rose from 958.36 tonnes to 25,916, Venezuela from 2,967 to 65,180 and Poland from 3,705 to 61,477. Small-base percentages should be read with the base in mind.
