Walnuts, Shelled Consumption by Country

China had 528,142 tonnes of shelled walnut food supply in 2023, accounting for 41.8 percent of the 1,263,158-tonne total and 2.71 times the next country. Türkiye came second and the United States third. The per-person picture flips sharply: Kyrgyzstan led at 10.05 grams a day, while China managed 1.02.

Walnuts at a Glance

China had the world's largest shelled walnut food supply in 2023 at 528,142 tonnes, representing 41.8 percent of the 1,263,158-tonne total. Türkiye ranked second at 194,876 tonnes, while Kyrgyzstan had the highest per-person supply at 10.05 grams per person per day. These figures measure food available for human consumption rather than the amount actually eaten.

Walnuts: The Standout Facts

  • China alone supplied more than the next three countries put together.
  • Kyrgyzstan's per-person figure was more than nine times China's.
  • India's supply grew 304.5 percent across five years, from 10,545 tonnes to 42,653.
  • Mexico's supply rose 235.8 percent over the period, from 6,877 tonnes to 23,090.

Walnuts in the Latest Year

Among the 165 countries with values in both 2022 and 2023, supply rose 1.0 percent, from 1,249,786 tonnes to 1,262,056, a gain of 12,270 tonnes. China's 54,644-tonne fall outweighed the whole net rise, so gains elsewhere offset it; the United States added 46,242 tonnes and India 21,163. Türkiye added 16,168 tonnes and Kyrgyzstan 11,492. Germany shed 15,258 tonnes and France 13,595.

Walnuts Over Five Years

Of the 162 countries reporting in both 2019 and 2023, the total climbed 34.9 percent, from 935,644 tonnes to 1,262,053, a gain of 326,409 tonnes. China drove 32.0 percent of that advance and the United States 20.8 percent. Türkiye added 51,727 tonnes and India 32,108, with Mexico up 16,213. Four countries entered and three left; the newcomers carried 1,104.15 tonnes in 2023 against 5.31 tonnes for the leavers.

Walnuts Per Person

Kyrgyzstan's 10.05 grams a day stood far above the field, followed by Türkiye at 6.12 and Greece at 3.76. Romania (2.79) and Uzbekistan (2.09) came next. China, first by a wide margin on volume, sat far down the per-person table at 1.02 grams, a gap that reflects the size of its population.

What the Walnuts Table Measures

Shelled walnuts stand as their own FAO line, never folded into walnuts in shell or into the wider nut group. A country's figure represents food available for human consumption in the reference year, not a crop total and not a shipment, and the grams-per-person column simply divides that supply by the country's population.

Where Walnuts Supply Moved Most

The United States produced the largest single-year gain, from 75,502 tonnes in 2022 to 121,744 in 2023, a 61.2 percent rise. France moved the other way, from 23,407 tonnes to 9,812. Russia reversed its own slide, from 4,542 tonnes in 2022 to 13,253 in 2023, a 191.8 percent rebound. China's high-water mark came in 2022 at 582,786 tonnes.

Methodology

The tonnage column tracks FAO's food supply quantity for shelled walnuts (element 5141) from 2019 to 2023, while the grams-per-person column tracks element 665 over the same years. A percentage is worked out against the starting year of the pair, and none is shown when that starting value is zero. A two-year comparison counts only the countries present in both, so newcomers and dropouts cannot skew the result. An explicit zero and a missing entry carry different meanings and are kept apart. The numbers describe food available for human consumption, not what people actually eat. Of the 169 countries in the table, the China aggregate, world and regional rows are excluded and China appears once; 166 report a 2023 value. Compiled by StatsGeo from FAO FAOSTAT.

Is this what people actually eat?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption, not what people actually eat, so the rankings reflect food supply rather than the amount consumed in a diet.

Why is China first by volume but not per person?

Its 528,142 tonnes work out to 1.02 grams per person per day, far below Kyrgyzstan's figure, because China's supply spreads across a far larger population.
