Highest cereal protein supply by nation, 2023

Nations ranked by protein supply, 2023, grams per person per day.

What the Data Shows

FAOSTAT reports cereal protein supply by nation for 2023 in grams per person per day. The ranking compares nine non-aggregate nation rows from the same Food Balance Sheets source, with no share column because no external denominator is used. Serbia ranks first at 57.69 grams per person per day, ahead of Morocco by 2.90 grams per person per day. Serbia’s value is 1.31x the #9 nation, Iraq at 44.18 grams per person per day, so the page is best read as a protein-supply ranking.

Data notes & caveats

Values are daily dietary protein supply in grams per person per day. Shares are not included because the page uses a ranked nation comparison rather than a separate total.

Methodology

The ranking uses FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets nation rows for cereals excluding beer, protein supply quantity, 2023 and grams per person per day. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ranked from highest to lowest and rounded consistently.

Source consistency notes

Rows use the same FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets source, protein-supply metric, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like ranking across nations.
