Belarus Leads Yoghurt Supply per Person

Belarus' 99.22 grams a day towered over Lithuania's 57.21 in second and Bulgaria's 55.3 in third. Croatia sat fourth at 51.6 grams, with Slovenia at 42.33 and Austria at 40.68. Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Latvia followed below 38 grams. Germany, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten. The per-person ranking is led by Belarus, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia.

What the Yoghurt Data Covers

Yoghurt for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. The leader holds less than a fifth, so the ranking stays open. The tonnage figures show total food supply, while the per-person figures adjust that supply for population size.

Thirteen departures carried 188,644 tonnes, led by Ukraine and Kuwait, while twelve arrivals brought 75,829 tonnes. Oman fell 64.1 percent across five years yet still reports. No reported zero followed a large value, so no source-check warning applies.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts record tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for yoghurt across 2019-2023. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base; no percentage is calculated when that base is zero. The universe counts 101 countries after aggregates are removed, 84 with 2023 values. Only countries holding values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total is the sum of the 84 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.
