Wheat and Products Consumption by Country

The figures below aggregate FAO Food Balances records for item Wheat and products, 2019-2023, reporting food quantities in thousand tonnes (Element 5142) and food supply quantity in kilograms per capita per year (Element 645). The table lists 177 reporters, 176 of which reported a 2023 quantity, and the 2023 annual listed consumption total is 544,299 thousand tonnes. China had the largest listed food supply in 2023 and added 4,241 thousand tonnes from 2022, while India added 1,676 thousand tonnes.

Wheat and Products Consumption

China had the highest listed wheat and products food supply in 2023 at 106,655 thousand tonnes, while Serbia had the highest per-capita food supply at 240.07 kilograms per person. China's listed food supply was 1.12 times India's (106,655 thousand tonnes against 95,634), and five of the top eight reporters sit in Asia.

Key Takeaways

In 2023, China had the largest listed supply of wheat and products at 106,655 thousand tonnes, followed by India at 95,634 thousand tonnes. The United States ranked third with 30,542 thousand tonnes. On a per-capita basis, Serbia recorded the highest food supply at 240.07 kilograms per person, followed by Azerbaijan at 205.61 kilograms.

Across the 176 reporters with data in both 2022 and 2023, listed wheat and products supply increased by 7,741 thousand tonnes, or 1.4 percent. China contributed 4,241 thousand tonnes of that increase. These figures represent food available for human consumption in the FAO Food Balances and should not be interpreted as the amount of wheat actually eaten.

Wheat and Products Consumption by Country in 2023

China had the largest listed wheat and products food supply in the 2023 data with 106,655 thousand tonnes (19.6 percent of the listed total), followed by India with 95,634 thousand tonnes (17.6 percent) and the United States with 30,542 thousand tonnes (5.6 percent). Pakistan ranked fourth with 26,894 thousand tonnes and Russia fifth with 19,852 thousand tonnes.

The top three consumers hold 42.8 percent of the listed 2023 total, the top five 51.4 percent and the top ten 63.1 percent of the 544,299-thousand-tonne total.

China Adds 4,241 Thousand Tonnes as Wheat and Products Consumption Grows 1.4 Percent Between 2022 and 2023

Between 2022 and 2023, the common reporter universe (176 countries with data in both years) rose from 536,558 thousand tonnes to 544,299 thousand tonnes, a change of 7,741 thousand tonnes (1.4 percent). The totals listed for each year were 536,558 thousand tonnes (176 reporters) and 544,299 thousand tonnes (176 reporters); no country exited and no new reporter joined. China added 4,241 thousand tonnes (up 4.1 percent), accounting for 54.8 percent of the increase, and India added 1,676 thousand tonnes (up 1.8 percent). Iraq added 1,088 thousand tonnes (up 26.1 percent) and Thailand 597 thousand tonnes (up 69.3 percent), while Yemen fell 796 thousand tonnes (down 21.1 percent), Bangladesh 737 thousand tonnes (down 28.1 percent), Indonesia 626 thousand tonnes (down 7.0 percent) and Nigeria 524 thousand tonnes (down 10.0 percent).

India Adds 12,235 Thousand Tonnes as Wheat and Products Consumption Grows 6.5 Percent Among Common Reporters Since 2019

Between 2019 and 2023, the common reporter universe (176 countries with data in both years) rose from 511,282 thousand tonnes to 544,299 thousand tonnes, a change of 33,017 thousand tonnes (6.5 percent). The totals listed for each year were 512,006 thousand tonnes (177 reporters) and 544,299 thousand tonnes (176 reporters); Cuba, with 724 thousand tonnes in 2019, had no reported quantity in 2023, and no new reporter joined. India added 12,235 thousand tonnes (up 14.7 percent), accounting for 37.1 percent of the increase, followed by China with 7,621 thousand tonnes (up 7.7 percent), Pakistan with 2,206 thousand tonnes (up 8.9 percent), the United States with 1,866 thousand tonnes (up 6.5 percent) and Iran with 1,215 thousand tonnes (up 9.6 percent).

Growth sits heavily in Asia: India, China and Pakistan together account for 66.9 percent of the 2019-2023 common-reporter increase. The per-capita leaders form a separate bloc across the Balkans, North Africa and the Middle East, with Azerbaijan at 205.61 and Tunisia at 194.74 kilograms per year, while the total-quantity leaders China and India record only 74.97 and 66.50 kilograms respectively. The 2022-2023 comparison includes the same 176 reporters in both years.

In 2023, China had the largest listed food supply of wheat and products at 106,655 thousand tonnes, while Serbia had the highest per-capita food supply at 240.07 kilograms per person per year. India and the United States followed China by total quantity, with 95,634 and 30,542 thousand tonnes respectively. The figures come from FAO Food Balances and represent food available for human consumption rather than the amount actually eaten.

What Does Wheat and Products Consumption Measure?

In this dataset, wheat and products consumption refers to the quantity of wheat and wheat-derived products available for human consumption, rather than the amount people actually eat. FAO Food Balances include wheat and a range of wheat-derived products, including flour, macaroni, bread, bulgur, pastry and other processed products. The per-capita figure expresses the corresponding food supply as kilograms per person per year.

Quick Answer

In 2023, China had the largest listed wheat and products food supply among the 176 reporters with reported values, at 106,655 thousand tonnes. India ranked second at 95,634 thousand tonnes, while the United States ranked third at 30,542 thousand tonnes. Serbia had the highest per-capita wheat and products food supply at 240.07 kilograms per person per year. These FAO Food Balances figures represent food available for human consumption, not a direct measurement of wheat 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 Wheat and products from 2019 through 2023. The food quantity represents the amount available for human consumption in the food balance, not the amount actually eaten. The reporter universe contains 177 reporters; the tables list reporters only (aggregate rows such as World, regions and China (aggregate) are not included), while China figures refer to the China reporter. Quantities of 1,000 thousand tonnes and above are shown as whole numbers; smaller quantities retain up to two decimal places. A zero indicates a displayed value of zero, while an empty cell indicates that no value is available for that reporter and year. For changes, only reporters with values in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. FAO Food Balances are compiled from national and other official sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Serbia top the per-capita ranking with a small total?

Serbia's figure reflects 1,626 thousand tonnes divided by its population, giving 240.07 kilograms per capita in 2023. China records 74.97 kilograms per capita from 106,655 thousand tonnes.

Did the reporter set change between 2019 and 2023?

Only by one exit. Cuba reported 724 thousand tonnes in 2019 and nothing in 2023, and no new reporter joined. The 2022-2023 comparison has no entrants or exits.

What does this table not show?

Production, trade, stocks and actual amounts eaten. The table covers food available for human consumption of wheat and a range of wheat-derived products, including flour, macaroni, bread, bulgur and pastry, while other cereals sit in their own tables.
