Sunflower-Seed Oil, Crude Consumption by Country
India reported 2,511,499 tonnes of crude sunflower-seed oil food supply in 2023, 19.1 percent of the listed total. Russia followed with 1,800,000 tonnes and Iran with 660,652, while Bulgaria recorded the highest figure per person at 51.47 grams a day. The 2023 figures total 13,127,360 tonnes across 174 countries, 173 with values, covering food available for human consumption from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts for 2019-2023.
Direct Answer
Which country had the highest crude sunflower-seed oil food supply in 2023? India, with 2,511,499 tonnes, ranked first among the countries with a 2023 value. Russia followed with 1,800,000 tonnes and Iran with 660,652 tonnes. Bulgaria had the highest per-person supply at 51.47 grams per person per day. These figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not the amount people actually ate.
A Spread-Out Top Table
India led, 1.40 times Russia. Iran followed at 660,652 tonnes, then Argentina at 540,109 and China at 529,379. Spain and Türkiye were almost level in sixth and seventh, at 525,000 and 516,540 tonnes. The top three held only 37.9 percent of supply, and the top ten 62.1 percent, so more than a third sat outside the first ten. Of the countries in the file, all but one carried a 2023 value.
Across the 173 countries present in both 2022 and 2023, supply rose 9.0 percent, from 12,044,492 tonnes, a gain of 1,082,868. India added 701,208 tonnes, nearly two-thirds of the net rise, for 38.7 percent growth. China added 269,684 tonnes, doubling, and Iran 150,652. Germany shed 120,076 tonnes and Kazakhstan 110,993, while Saudi Arabia added 76,349, more than quadrupling from 23,415. Iraq shed 74,691 tonnes and Ukraine 68,890. Among the 173 countries in both 2019 and 2023, supply grew 7.4 percent, from 12,222,487 tonnes, a gain of 904,873. Ethiopia added 329,215 tonnes, more than a third of the net rise, rising from 12,899 to 342,114, or about twenty-six-fold. India added 257,639 tonnes and Russia 192,081 over the same span. Brazil moved the other way, shedding 167,319 tonnes, down 69.1 percent, while Italy added 121,900 and Germany shed 106,387. Türkiye added 102,985 tonnes and China 100,654, both near one hundred thousand. Spain and Türkiye sat almost level in sixth and seventh, at 525,000 and 516,540 tonnes, a gap of under two percent. Italy, eighth at 371,900 tonnes, added 121,900 over five years, the fourth-largest long gain in the table. South Africa and Ethiopia closed the top ten at 354,735 and 342,114 tonnes. China, fifth at 529,379 tonnes, more than doubled in the latest year, adding 269,684. Bulgaria's 51.47 grams a day topped the per-person table, ahead of North Macedonia at 38.34 and Russia at 33.91. Romania, Argentina and Spain followed between 30 and 34 grams. Bulgaria ranked outside the top ten by volume yet first per person, while India, the volume leader, sat at 4.78 grams. Kazakhstan paired both tables well, seventh per person at 28.08 grams and ranked seventeenth by volume. This page follows the SUA item labelled Sunflower-seed oil, crude and counts only its rows; World, regional and aggregate rows are excluded, while the country-level China row is retained. 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 sunflower-seed oil, crude, 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 174 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; all but one carry 2023 values. Ethiopia rises twenty-six-fold, the standout move in this wide file. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.India's Latest-Year Push

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does India lead the volume ranking but not the per-person ranking?
India led the volume ranking but recorded only 4.78 grams per person a day, while Bulgaria ranked first per person by a wide margin overall.
Did India's supply increase every year from 2019 to 2023?
No. India rose from 2,253,860 tonnes in 2019 to 2,299,248 in 2020, then fell to 1,796,864 in 2021 and 1,810,291 in 2022 before reaching 2,511,499 tonnes in 2023.
How concentrated was the 2023 supply?
The top three countries accounted for 37.9 percent of the listed 2023 supply, while the top ten accounted for 62.1 percent. More than one-third therefore came from outside the ten largest countries.
Which country made the largest five-year addition?
Ethiopia added 329,215 tonnes between 2019 and 2023, rising from 12,899 to 342,114 tonnes. India added 257,639 tonnes and Russia 192,081 tonnes over the same period.
Is crude sunflower-seed oil food supply the same as actual consumption?
No. The FAO measure represents food available for human consumption during the reference year. It is a supply measure rather than a direct measurement of how much sunflower-seed oil people actually ate.
Data Disclaimer: Projected data (future years) are estimates based on mathematical models. Actual values may differ. Learn about our methodology →
