Sunflowerseed Oil Consumption by Country

FAO Food Balances data record 13,123 thousand tonnes of listed sunflowerseed oil food supply in 2023 across 171 reporters with reported values. India accounts for 2,511 thousand tonnes of that total, ahead of Russia at 1,800 thousand tonnes and Iran at 661 thousand tonnes. Bulgaria records the highest per-capita food supply at 18.79 kilograms per person per year. The series spans 2019 through 2023, although some reporters have missing values in individual years.

India leads the 2023 ranking at 2,511 thousand tonnes, 1.40 times Russia at 1,800 thousand tonnes. Bulgaria tops the per-capita ranking at 18.79 kilograms per person per year from 128 thousand tonnes, ahead of North Macedonia at 13.99 kilograms.

Key Takeaways

In 2023, India led listed sunflowerseed oil food supply at 2,511 thousand tonnes, with Russia second at 1,800 thousand tonnes and Iran third at 661 thousand tonnes. Argentina followed at 540 thousand tonnes and China at 529 thousand tonnes. Bulgaria's 18.79 kilograms per person per year lead the per-capita ranking, followed by North Macedonia at 13.99 kilograms.

Between 2022 and 2023, listed supply across the 171 reporters with data in both years rose from 12,041 thousand tonnes to 13,123 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,082 thousand tonnes (9.0 percent), as India added 701 thousand tonnes and China doubled from 260 to 529 thousand tonnes. Since 2019, the common-reporter total has grown 7.4 percent, with Ethiopia's 329-thousand-tonne surge contributing 36.6 percent of the increase. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of sunflowerseed oil actually eaten.

Sunflowerseed Oil Consumption by Country in 2023

India holds 2,511 thousand tonnes, or 19.1 percent of the 13,123-thousand-tonne listed total. Russia follows at 1,800 thousand tonnes (13.7 percent) and Iran at 661 thousand tonnes (5.0 percent), with Argentina fourth at 540 thousand tonnes and China fifth at 529 thousand tonnes.

The top three reporters account for 37.9 percent of the listed total, while the top five account for 46.0 percent and the top ten account for 62.1 percent. Eastern Europe dominates the per-capita ranking, with Bulgaria, North Macedonia, Russia, Romania and Kazakhstan all in the top ten.

India Adds 701 Thousand Tonnes as Supply Grows 9.0 Percent Between 2022 and 2023

Among the 171 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 12,041 thousand tonnes to 13,123 thousand tonnes, a gain of 1,082 thousand tonnes (9.0 percent). The 2022 and 2023 listed totals come from the same 171 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. India added 701 thousand tonnes (up 38.7 percent), China added 269 thousand tonnes (up 103.5 percent), Iran added 151 thousand tonnes (up 29.6 percent) and Saudi Arabia added 77 thousand tonnes (up 334.8 percent), while Germany fell 120 thousand tonnes (down 30.4 percent), Kazakhstan fell 111 thousand tonnes (down 34.8 percent), Iraq fell 75 thousand tonnes (down 23.0 percent) and Ukraine fell 69 thousand tonnes (down 25.3 percent).

Ethiopia Adds 329 Thousand Tonnes as Listed Supply Grows 7.4 Percent Since 2019

For the 171 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 12,224 thousand tonnes to 13,123 thousand tonnes, a gain of 899 thousand tonnes (7.4 percent). The 2019 total includes 172 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 171; Cuba, with 1 thousand tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value. Ethiopia added 329 thousand tonnes (up 2,530.8 percent from 13 thousand tonnes), India added 257 thousand tonnes (up 11.4 percent), Russia added 192 thousand tonnes (up 11.9 percent), Italy added 122 thousand tonnes (up 48.8 percent), Türkiye added 103 thousand tonnes (up 24.9 percent) and China added 100 thousand tonnes (up 23.3 percent), while Brazil fell 167 thousand tonnes (down 69.0 percent) and Germany fell 107 thousand tonnes (down 28.0 percent).

Ethiopia's twenty-six-fold rise from 13 to 342 thousand tonnes is the largest single gain in the window, exceeding India's 257 thousand tonnes. India's own path runs through a dip: 2,254 thousand tonnes in 2019, down to 1,810 in 2022, back to 2,511 in 2023. Per capita, Bulgaria's 18.79 kilograms from 128 thousand tonnes lead North Macedonia at 13.99 kilograms, while India, first by total, records 1.75 kilograms.

What Does Sunflowerseed Oil Consumption Measure?

For FAO Food Balances, the sunflowerseed oil figure used here covers sunflowerseed oil recorded under the Food element as available for human consumption. It represents food available for human consumption during the reference year, rather than a direct estimate of how much sunflowerseed oil people actually consumed. Sunflowerseed used for other purposes sits outside this figure.

The per-capita figure expresses the same food supply on a population basis, in kilograms per person per year. A country's total quantity and per-capita value therefore answer different questions: total quantity shows the size of the listed food supply, while the per-capita measure adjusts it for population.

Sunflowerseed Oil Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, India had the largest listed sunflowerseed oil food supply among the 171 reporters with reported values, at 2,511 thousand tonnes. Russia ranked second at 1,800 thousand tonnes, while Iran ranked third at 661 thousand tonnes. Bulgaria had the highest per-capita sunflowerseed oil food supply at 18.79 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of sunflowerseed oil actually eaten.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Food Balances food quantity (Element 5142, thousand tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 645, kg/capita/year) for Sunflowerseed oil from 2019 through 2023. The Food element represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the quantity actually eaten, as additional losses or waste may occur after food reaches the consumer. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero.

The reporter universe for this item contains 172 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 of 1,000 thousand tonnes and above are shown as whole numbers; smaller quantities retain up to two decimals. FAO Food Balances primarily use official national statistics, with some data also estimated or imputed where applicable. The FAO dataset reports the Food element in thousand tonnes and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year. The 2023 listed total of 13,123 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 171 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
