Watermelon Supply Changes from 2019 to 2023

Between 2019 and 2023, the 167 countries present in both years grew from 80,972,985 tonnes to 84,507,174 tonnes, up 3,534,189 tonnes, or 4.4 percent.

One country left with 42,490 tonnes; the comparison drops Cuba's 2019 value while no country entered at the 2023 endpoint.

Senegal Leads Watermelon Supply per Person

Senegal's 202.38 grams a day stood far above Tajikistan's 144.18 in second and the Dominican Republic's 140.78 in third. Albania and Turkmenistan followed near 140 grams. Algeria sat at 136.28 grams. China, first by volume, ranked seventh per person at 103.09 grams. China ranked first by total supply, while Senegal ranked first on a per-person basis.

What the Watermelons Data Covers

Watermelons for human consumption are counted in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country across 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. One country's harvest dwarfs every rival, so its steady growth sets the headline.

Iran fell from 1,456,670 tonnes in 2019 to 203,774 in 2022, then rebounded to 1,025,989 tonnes in 2023.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts label tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for watermelons over 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base, and no percentage is calculated when that base is zero. The dataset contains 172 reporting countries after aggregates are excluded, 171 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 84,509,151 tonnes is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. Reported zero is kept apart from blank, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country has the highest watermelon supply per person?

Senegal had the highest watermelon supply per person in 2023, far above Tajikistan at 144.18 grams a day and the Dominican Republic at 140.78 grams.

How dominant is China?

Hugely dominant: China alone held 63.3 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top three together reached 69.9 percent of reported supply overall.

How big was Iran's rebound?

Iran added 822,215 tonnes, up 403.5 percent in the latest year, the biggest single latest-year leap among all countries in the file overall, well ahead of China.

Is watermelon food supply the same as actual consumption?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption, not actual dietary intake. They should therefore not be interpreted as the amount people actually ate.

Which country contributed most to the 2019-2023 increase?

China added 2,307,824 tonnes between 2019 and 2023, up 4.5 percent, accounting for 65.3 percent of the net gain, while India added 1,038,491 tonnes overall.
