Summary

The countries that report used 800 Mt of wheat in 2024, 0.7% more than in 2023. China 151 Mt (19%), India 113 Mt (14%) and Russia 49.9 Mt (6.2%); together, 39% of the world total.

177 countries and territories have a figure for 2024. 5 more reported a figure for one of the two years before but not yet for 2024; they are hatched on the map. Use is production plus imports minus exports. It covers food, animal feed, industrial uses, seed and waste, and leaves out changes in stocks; FAOSTAT’s food balance sheets, which split these, come two years or more later.

Notes

  1. Russia: Russia’s customs service stopped publishing detailed trade figures in 2022, so FAOSTAT’s trade figures for Russia since then may be estimates or incomplete.
