Türkiye recorded the highest reported tea-leaf food supply in 2023, at 564,635 tonnes, or approximately 54.4 percent of the listed total of 1,038,166 tonnes. It also ranked first in daily food supply per person, at 17.73 grams. These figures describe food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually drink. The unusually large changes in several countries' reported values should be interpreted in light of the source data and its reporting coverage.

The Five-Year Comparison Shows a Sharp Decline

Between 2019 and 2023, the 148 countries with values in both years fell from 3,132,108 tonnes to 1,038,166 tonnes, down 2,093,942 tonnes, or 66.9 percent.

Türkiye Leads in Daily Supply per Person

Türkiye's 17.73 grams a day nearly doubled Mauritania's 9.05 in second. Libya sat third at 6.71 grams, with Barbados at 5.10 and Morocco at 4.43. Taiwan, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Macau and Hong Kong followed below four grams. Türkiye ranked first in both measures in 2023.

What the Tea Leaves Data Covers

Tea leaves for human consumption are counted in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. India held the largest reported supply in 2019, while Türkiye led in 2023.

India's 0.01 tonnes and the United Kingdom's 0.4 tonnes are traces rather than reported zeros. Sri Lanka fell 97.0 percent lately to 1,563 tonnes, Egypt 95.9 percent across five years to 4,439 tonnes, Bangladesh 99.0 percent to 888 tonnes. Kenya, the United States and Hong Kong reported values in 2023 following reported zeros in 2022, with no percentages stated for those moves.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts assign tonnage for human consumption to element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for tea leaves across 2019-2023. Percentages reference the earlier year, and zero bases receive no percentage. The dataset contains 150 countries after aggregates are excluded, all with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total is the sum of the 150 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Türkiye dominate the 2023 tea-leaf figures?

Türkiye has the highest reported value in both total food supply and daily supply per person in the supplied 2023 dataset. The scale of its year-on-year increase should be checked against the underlying FAO record before drawing conclusions about the cause.

Which countries follow Türkiye in total tea-leaf supply?

Morocco ranked second at 61,037 tonnes, followed by Indonesia at 57,141 tonnes. Iran and Taiwan completed the top five at 47,702 and 33,338 tonnes respectively in the same table.

Why do some countries show zero tea-leaf supply in recent years?

A reported zero is different from a blank value, but it does not by itself explain why the figure changed. Large shifts should be checked against the source before being interpreted as real changes in food supply.

How should the 2019 and 2023 figures be compared?

A valid change calculation should use the same countries at both endpoints. The comparison total may therefore differ from the total for all countries reporting in 2023.

Does food supply show how much tea people drink?

No. The FAO measure describes food available for human consumption; it is not a direct measurement of actual intake or drinking habits in any country.
