Per capita food supply worldwide in 2019, by country
(in kilocalories per person per day)
Figures include waste and are thus likely higher than actual consumption*
Supplementary notes
Displayed are the highest and lowest fifteen countries by Kilocalories and the otherwise most populous countries (China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Brazil)
*The source notes: "Food availability also includes any loss or waste at the retail
or consumer level. For this reason, total food availability estimates derived from the FBS are likely to be higher than actual average food consumption."
