Dietary Energy Supply
24 years, 2001–2024 · 155 countries · 2 measures
This is how many calories a day are available per person in a country's food supply, with protein availability beside it. Unlike a hunger count it applies everywhere, so it describes rich and poor countries on the same scale.
This site holds every year from 2001 to 2024, read from FAO’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Which years of the Dietary Energy Supply can I download?
All 24, from 2001 to 2024, each as a CSV file, or every year together in one CSV.
Does FAO rank countries on it?
No. FAO publishes values only. The positions shown on this site are derived by ordering the published values, and are labelled as ours.
