Vegetables Consumption by Country

China held 587,135 thousand tonnes of listed vegetables food supply in 2023, more than half of a 1,165,000-thousand-tonne total, and also led per person at 412.72 kilograms per person per year. India, second at 133,610 thousand tonnes, slipped 233 thousand tonnes in the single year while China added 6,924. Sixth place was decided by 18 thousand tonnes between Egypt and Russia, and Iran reversed a five-year decline with a 47.3 percent single-year jump.

China leads at 587,135 thousand tonnes, 4.39 times India at 133,610, with the United States third at 44,328 and Türkiye fourth at 21,868. Per capita China also leads at 412.72 kilograms, followed by Albania at 382.37 and Croatia at 338.04 kilograms. India, second by total, records 92.91 kilograms per person.

Vegetables Food Supply at a Glance

• China had the highest per-capita food supply at 412.72 kilograms per person per year.
• The listed total was 1,165,000 thousand tonnes across 176 reporters with reported values.
• Among 176 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, listed vegetables food supply increased by 61,735 thousand tonnes, or 5.6 percent.

Key Takeaways

The vegetables aggregate covers the vegetable items in the FAO Food Balances classification, including tomatoes, onions and other vegetables. It is one of the largest food aggregates by listed quantity, and a single reporter holds the majority of the total.

China and India together contributed 73.9 percent of the five-year net gain. The single-year changes were more mixed, with Iran, Mexico, Vietnam and Spain posting large increases while the Netherlands fell 29.0 percent and India edged down.

China Holds the Majority and Leads Per Person Too

The 2023 table is led by China at 587,135 thousand tonnes, with India second at 133,610 and the United States third at 44,328. Türkiye and Vietnam complete the top five at 21,868 and 19,199 thousand tonnes, respectively. China holds 50.4 percent of the 1,165,000-thousand-tonne listed total.

The top three reporters accounted for 65.7 percent of the listed total, the top five 69.2 percent and the top ten 75.6 percent. Egypt at 15,542 thousand tonnes and Russia at 15,524 differ by only 18 thousand tonnes for sixth place. Unusually, the volume leader is also the per-capita leader: China's 412.72 kilograms per person per year sits above Albania at 382.37 kilograms.

Iran Rebounds 47.3 Percent in a 1.3 Percent Overall Rise

Among the 176 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, the listed food supply increased from 1,150,401 thousand tonnes to 1,165,000 thousand tonnes, a gain of 14,599 thousand tonnes (1.3 percent). The two years share the same 176 reporters, with no reporter entering or leaving the comparison. China added 6,924 thousand tonnes (up 1.2 percent), Iran added 3,065 thousand tonnes (up 47.3 percent), Mexico added 1,860 thousand tonnes (up 27.5 percent), Vietnam added 1,299 thousand tonnes (up 7.3 percent), Türkiye added 1,076 thousand tonnes (up 5.2 percent), Algeria added 958 thousand tonnes (up 10.3 percent) and Spain added 901 thousand tonnes (up 20.6 percent), while the Netherlands fell 930 thousand tonnes (down 29.0 percent) and India slipped 233 thousand tonnes (down 0.2 percent).

Iran's jump from 6,483 to 9,548 thousand tonnes reverses the direction of its five-year record. The Netherlands' fall from 3,204 to 2,274 thousand tonnes (down 29.0 percent) is the largest absolute annual decline; Mozambique fell 35.0 percent, Iraq 17.1 percent, Egypt 4.5 percent and Germany 3.6 percent.

China and India Supply 73.9 Percent of a 5.6 Percent Five-Year Gain

For the 176 reporters with data in both 2019 and 2023, the listed food supply rose from 1,103,265 thousand tonnes to 1,165,000 thousand tonnes, a gain of 61,735 thousand tonnes (5.6 percent). The 2019 total includes 177 reporters with reported values, while the 2023 total includes 176; Cuba, with 1,924 thousand tonnes in 2019, had no reported 2023 value. China added 33,579 thousand tonnes (up 6.1 percent), India added 12,035 thousand tonnes (up 9.9 percent), Vietnam added 2,722 thousand tonnes (up 16.5 percent), Bangladesh added 2,577 thousand tonnes (up 40.5 percent), Indonesia added 1,551 thousand tonnes (up 12.6 percent) and Pakistan added 1,425 thousand tonnes (up 23.3 percent), while Russia fell 1,887 thousand tonnes (down 10.8 percent) and Iran fell 1,771 thousand tonnes (down 15.6 percent).

China contributes 54.4 percent of the five-year net increase and India 19.5 percent, so the two together account for 73.9 percent. Russia's decline from 17,411 to 15,524 thousand tonnes and Iran's from 11,319 to 9,548 run against the aggregate's growth, and Iran's single-year rebound recovered only part of its five-year loss.

What Does the Vegetables Food Supply Measure?

The numbers in this article come from the Vegetables item in the FAO Food Balances, measured under the Food element as food available for human consumption during the reference year. A combined vegetables total of this kind should not be read as an estimate of what people actually ate. The aggregate sums the vegetable items, including tomatoes, onions and other vegetables, and several of those items are also covered in separate articles.

The per-capita measure converts the reported food supply into kilograms available per person during the year. It offers a population-adjusted view of the same item, and in this aggregate the two views agree at the top: China leads both tables.

Vegetables Consumption by Country: Quick Answer

In 2023, according to FAO Food Balances, China had the largest listed vegetables food supply among the 176 reporters with reported values, at 587,135 thousand tonnes. India ranked second at 133,610 thousand tonnes, while the United States ranked third at 44,328 thousand tonnes. China had the highest per-capita vegetables food supply at 412.72 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of vegetables 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 Vegetables 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 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 177 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 are shown in thousand tonnes as reported, without additional rounding. The FAO dataset reports the Food element in thousand tonnes and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year. The listed total of 1,165,000 thousand tonnes is the sum of the 176 reporters with a reported 2023 value; it excludes aggregate rows and reporters without a 2023 value. This article covers the vegetables aggregate; individual vegetable items are treated in separate articles.
