Vetches Consumption by Country
Three reporters recorded vetches supply in 2023, led by Ethiopia with 303,589 tonnes. Mexico followed with 71,312 tonnes, while Tunisia recorded 240.09 tonnes. The 375,141-tonne total was 5.7 percent higher than in 2022 and 1.1 percent above the 2019 level among reporters with values in both years. Ethiopia also led on a per-person basis at 6.46 grams a day.
Ethiopia's 2023 vetches figure of 303,589 tonnes stands 4.26 times Mexico's 71,312, with Tunisia third at 240.09 tonnes. Ethiopia's 6.46 grams a day head the per-person order, ahead of Mexico at 1.51 and Tunisia at 0.05. 303,589 tonnes for Ethiopia (80.9 percent of 375,141), 71,312 for Mexico and 240.09 for Tunisia. The top two cover virtually the entire total. Ethiopia's 6.46 grams a day per person also put it first on the per-person measure. Three reporters cover 2019 and 2023: 371,030 tonnes became 375,141 — a 4,111-tonne, 1.1 percent advance. Myanmar had a 2019 value but no 2023 value, and no new reporter entered the comparison. Ethiopia put on 25,452 tonnes (9.2 percent up) while Mexico came off 21,333 (23.0 percent down); Tunisia came off 8 tonnes (3.3 percent down). Three reporters cover 2022 and 2023: 354,970 tonnes became 375,141 — a 20,171-tonne, 5.7 percent advance, with the same three reporters represented in both years. Mexico put on 17,579 tonnes (32.7 percent up) and Ethiopia 2,591 (0.9 percent up), while Tunisia added a single tonne (0.6 percent up). Vetches stand as their own FAO item — apart from the rest of the pulses, which never enter these figures. Counted is food available for human consumption in the reference year. The daily grams-per-person figure expresses the same food supply quantity on a population-adjusted basis. Ethiopia's 303,589 tonnes were the largest 2023 listed vetches supply, ahead of Mexico's 71,312 — 80.9 percent of 375,141 tonnes across 3 reporters. Tunisia placed third at 240.09 tonnes. Ethiopia's 6.46 grams a day paced the per-person ranking. Counted here is food available for human consumption, not vetches actually eaten. The earlier endpoint year anchors every percentage here, across reporters holding values in both years. Tonnes come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts element 5141 (food supply quantity); daily grams per person from element 665 — for vetches, 2019 through 2023. Counted is supply available for human consumption in the reference year, not intake. Zero-base years yield no percentage; a zero reports zero and a blank reports nothing. Tables carry reporters alone — 4 held a value in at least one year from 2019 through 2023 — with World, regional and China (aggregate) rows omitted; China is the China reporter. Tonnes match FAO's publication, unrounded, and the 2023 listed total of 375,141 tonnes aggregates the 3 reporters with a 2023 value.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How did Ethiopia and Mexico change over five years?
Ethiopia put on 25,452 tonnes over five years while Mexico came off 21,333 — a 4,111-tonne net gain; in the latest year Mexico put on 17,579 with Ethiopia on 2,591. Each move sits in the figures; their causes do not.
How did Mexico dip then rebound?
Mexico went from 92,645 tonnes in 2019 to 53,733 in 2022 and 71,312 in 2023. The dip and rebound are traced in the figures without identifying what drove either.
Why is Tunisia third at 240 tonnes?
Only three reporters carry a 2023 value, and Tunisia's 240.09 tonnes come third by default. The figures describe the ranking without explaining it.
