Triticale Consumption by Country

Lithuania held 3,600 tonnes of listed triticale food supply in 2023, 63.5 percent of a 5,669-tonne total spread across only 19 reporters with reported values, 5.22 times Ukraine at 689 tonnes. Lithuania rose from 95 tonnes in 2019 while Ukraine fell 64.4 percent, and Syria entered at 635 tonnes with no 2019 value. The single year fell 14.2 percent on declines in Afghanistan, Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Algeria and Uzbekistan against Lithuania's gain. Lithuania also leads per person at 3.46 grams per person per day.

Lithuania leads at 3,600 tonnes, followed by Ukraine at 689 and Syria at 635, with Afghanistan fourth at 203 and Algeria fifth at 186. Per capita Lithuania also leads at 3.46 grams per person per day, followed by Malta at 0.29 and Montenegro at 0.17 grams.

Triticale Food Supply at a Glance

• Lithuania had the largest listed triticale food supply in 2023 at 3,600 tonnes.
• Ukraine ranked second at 689 tonnes, followed by Syria at 635 tonnes.
• Lithuania had the highest per-capita food supply at 3.46 grams per person per day.
• The listed total was 5,669 tonnes across 19 reporters with reported values.
• Among 7 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed triticale food supply increased by 2,230 tonnes, or 103.4 percent.
• The FAO food supply quantity measure represents food available for human consumption and is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten.

Key Takeaways

The FAO dataset lists 27 reporters with triticale values, although only 19 have a reported 2023 quantity. Lithuania, Ukraine and Syria together hold 86.9 percent of the listed total, yet Syria has no 2019 baseline and the five-year comparison runs on just 7 reporters.

Lithuania's rise from 95 to 3,600 tonnes decides the five-year comparison, more than offsetting Ukraine's fall. Afghanistan fell 70.2 percent in the single year, while Iraq rose from near zero to 150 tonnes and Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan fell to zero.

Lithuania Holds 63.5 Percent and Leads Per Person Too

The 2023 table is led by Lithuania at 3,600 tonnes, with Ukraine second at 689 and Syria third at 635. Afghanistan and Algeria complete the top five at 203 and 186 tonnes, respectively.

The top three reporters accounted for 86.9 percent of the listed total, the top five 93.7 percent and the top ten 99.9 percent. Per capita, Lithuania's 3.46 grams per person per day lead Malta at 0.29 grams, so the volume leader is also the per-capita leader by a wide margin.

The Listed Total Fell 14.2 Percent in 2023

Among the 16 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply decreased from 5,862 tonnes to 5,032 tonnes, a decline of 830 tonnes (14.2 percent). The two years have 16 reporters in common; three additional reporters with a combined 637 tonnes entered the 2023 table, led by Syria at 635 tonnes, and no reporter left. Afghanistan fell 478 tonnes (down 70.2 percent), Ukraine fell 362 tonnes (down 34.4 percent), Turkmenistan fell 196 tonnes (down 100.0 percent), Algeria fell 143 tonnes (down 43.5 percent), Uzbekistan fell 84 tonnes (down 100.0 percent) and Montenegro fell 30 tonnes (down 42.9 percent).

On the gaining side, Lithuania added 300 tonnes (up 9.1 percent) and Iraq added 150 tonnes from near zero. Afghanistan's fall from 680 to 203 tonnes and Ukraine's from 1,051 to 689 were the two largest absolute annual declines.

The Five-Year Common Total More Than Doubled

For the 7 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 2,156 tonnes to 4,386 tonnes, a gain of 2,230 tonnes (103.4 percent). The 2019 universe includes 9 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 universe includes 19; Azerbaijan and Comoros, with a combined 12 tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value, while 12 reporters with a combined 1,283 tonnes entered, led by Syria at 635 tonnes. Lithuania added 3,505 tonnes from 95 tonnes, Malta added 9 tonnes (up 18.8 percent), and Ukraine fell 1,248 tonnes (down 64.4 percent), Montenegro fell 20 tonnes (down 33.2 percent) and Namibia fell 14 tonnes (down 100.0 percent).

Lithuania's gain of 3,505 tonnes against a net increase of 2,230 exceeds the net total, with Ukraine absorbing part of it. Turkmenistan fell to zero from 1 tonne and Morocco to near zero in the comparison.

What Does the Triticale Food Supply Measure?

FAO triticale food supply measures the amount of triticale available for human consumption during the reference period, not the amount actually eaten by consumers.

The per-capita value expresses this reported food supply in population terms, showing how much was available per person per day. Lithuania records the highest value at 3.46 grams.

Triticale Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, FAO data recorded 5,669 tonnes of listed triticale food supply across 19 reporters. Lithuania had the largest total at 3,600 tonnes, followed by Ukraine at 689 tonnes and Syria at 635 tonnes. Lithuania had the highest per-capita food supply at 3.46 grams per person per day. These figures represent triticale available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of how much triticale people actually ate.

Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals use FAO Supply Utilization Accounts food supply quantity (Element 5141, tonnes), while the per-capita figures use food supply quantity (Element 665, g/capita/day) for Triticale from 2019 through 2023. The food supply quantity measure represents the quantity available for human consumption during the reference period. It is not a direct measure of the amount actually eaten, because food available for human consumption is not the same as actual dietary intake. No percentage change is shown where the base-year value is zero.

The reporter universe for this item contains 27 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.

Table quantities are shown in tonnes as reported, without additional rounding. The FAO dataset reports food supply quantity in tonnes and in grams per capita per day. The listed total of 5,669 tonnes is the sum of the 19 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value.
