The spread
174 countries, one dot each, on one scale — further right is a higher value. Half the countries are above 84.83; a quarter are above 113.83, and a quarter below 57.82. The bar in each row marks that continent’s middle country.
04All 176 ever measured
Every country
In order, highest value first. No rank or position is shown: too many countries share the same value for an order to mean anything. FAO counts plantains as fruit, and where they are eaten as a starchy staple, much like potatoes, they push the total far up — the plantain figure is stored beside the total for that reason. Waste in shops and homes is inside the number, so the highest figures overstate what people eat; the bottom of the table is where the figure says most.

About fruit supply per person
This is how many kilograms of fruit, not counting wine, a country's food supply holds per person each year, from FAO's food balance sheets. It is the standard way to compare how much fruit is available to eat across countries.
What the number is: Fruit available as food, excluding wine (kg per person per year).

11Questions
Fruit supply per person: questions and answers
Which country has the highest fruit supply per person?
Dominican Republic, at 379.63, among the 174 countries compared in 2023.
Which country has the lowest fruit supply per person?
Zambia, at 4.27, among the 174 countries compared in 2023.
How many countries does the Fruit Supply per Person cover?
174 in 2023, and 176 at least once across all editions. The number measured varies from 168 to 175 between editions.
What is the world average fruit supply per person?
This site does not calculate a world average, which would depend on how countries are weighted. In the middle country of the 174 compared in 2023, the figure was 84.83.
Is this Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s own ranking?
No ranking is shown. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publishes values only, and too many countries share the same value for an ordering to mean anything, so none is derived.
How often is the Fruit Supply per Person published?
This site holds 14 reference years, 2010–2023, all recalculated in Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)’s 2025 report on one method — not 14 separate publications.
Where does the data come from, and can I download it?
From Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), under CC BY 4.0. FAOSTAT's Food Balances domain, read from FAO's own bulk download, with FAO's plantain figure stored beside the total. Vegetables are a separate statistic. Every edition is on this site’s Datasets pages as a full table, and downloads as a CSV file with every value unrounded.

How this page reads the numbers
- No rank or position is shown: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) publishes values only, and too many countries share the same value for an ordering to mean anything.
- Which end is better follows the publisher’s own reading of the measure.
- A country is named at an end only when it holds that value alone. Where several share it, the page says how many and names none first.
- Values are stored exactly as published and trimmed only for display. “The middle country” is the median of the countries measured, not a world average.
The file itself, column by column — where it came from, what each column holds, and every edition as a CSV — is on its dataset page.
