Largest palm-kernel oil producers by nation, 2023

Top 9 nations by production volume; tonnes, 2023.

What the Data Shows

FAOSTAT reports palm kernel oil production by nation for 2023 in tonnes. The ranking compares nine non-aggregate nation rows from the same FAOSTAT source, with no share column because no external denominator is used. Indonesia ranks first at 5.0M tonnes, ahead of Malaysia at 2.1M tonnes. Indonesia’s value is 83.1x the #9 nation, Côte d’Ivoire at 59,800 tonnes, so the page is best read as a production-volume ranking.

Data notes & caveats

Values are annual production volumes in tonnes. Shares are not included because the page uses a ranked nation comparison rather than a separate global total.

Methodology

The ranking uses FAOSTAT nation rows for palm kernel oil, production volume, tonnes and 2023. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ranked from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for display.

Source consistency notes

Rows use the same FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products source family, metric, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like ranking across nations.
