Key Findings
- •Highest values in this extract are around 16 kg/capita/year (e.g., Turkey and Kyrgyzstan).
- •Several Southeast/East Asian countries show very low onion availability (e.g., Indonesia, Thailand, Viet Nam, Philippines ~1.5–2.1 kg/capita/year).
- •Many European countries cluster around ~6–10 kg/capita/year.
- •MENA and Central/South Asia include several high-availability countries (e.g., Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Iran, Jordan ~14–16 kg/capita/year).

About This Statistic
This statistic measures the estimated quantity of dry onions available for human consumption per person per year. It is derived from FAO Food Balance Sheets, which reconcile a country’s onion supply (production + imports − exports ± stock changes) and allocate it across uses (food, feed, seed, processing, waste, etc.).
Because it is based on national food balance accounting rather than household intake surveys, it is best interpreted as “availability for consumption” (a close proxy for consumption). Differences can reflect dietary patterns, domestic production, imports, and post-harvest losses, and may not perfectly match true eaten quantities.
Methodology
FAO Food Balance Sheets (Food Balances 2010-): Food supply quantity is computed from national supply/utilization accounts: production + imports − exports ± stock changes, then subtract non-food uses and losses to estimate the quantity available for human food. The result is divided by mid-year population to express kg per capita per year. Values provided are predominantly for 2020; for a small number of countries the latest available FAOSTAT year (e.g., 2019 or 2018) is used to maximize coverage.
