What the numbers show

All food groups — Protein supply — Value is currently reported for 177 countries. The highest value is 151.7 g/cap/d in Iceland; the lowest is 27.7 g/cap/d in Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The median across all reporting countries is 92.8 g/cap/d, and the mean is 90.98 g/cap/d.

The gap between the highest and lowest reporting country is a factor of about 5.

Over the past decade 116 countries rose and 53 fell. The largest increase was in Dominican Republic (up 43.3%), and the largest decrease in Yemen (down 23.2%).

The dataset presents average daily per capita macro and micro nutrient availability by country and by FAO/WHO GIFT food groups (that are different from those used for the Food Balance Sheets), expressed in grams/milligrams/micrograms/kcal per capita per day. The population numbers used to calculate these statistics can be found in the Supply Utilization Accounts (SUA) dataset of FAOSTAT, as Total Population. Food availability quantities are derived from the SUA dataset. SUAs present a comprehensive picture of the pattern of a country's food supply and utilization during a specified reference period. The SUA shows for each food item - i.e. each primary commodity and a number of processed commodities potentially available for human consumption - the sources of supply and its utilization. The total quantity of foodstuffs produced in a country added to the total quantity imported and adjusted to any change in stocks that may have occurred since the beginning of the reference period gives the supply available during that period. On the utilization side a distinction is made between the quantities exported, fed to livestock, used for seed, put to manufacture for food use and non-food uses, losses during storage and transportation, and food supplies available for human consumption. The per capita supply of each such food item available for human consumption is then obtained by dividing the respective quantity by the related data on the population actually partaking of it.
