What the Data Shows
FAOSTAT reports other 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. Ethiopia ranks first at 16.94 grams per person per day, ahead of Netherlands by 13.57 grams per person per day. Ethiopia’s value is 11.1x the #9 nation, Laos at 1.53 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 other cereals, 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.
