Cocoa consumption
Last updated: 10 November 2026
Kilograms per person of cocoa beans and products available for food in 2023. FAOSTAT calls this food supply; the game uses it as a proxy for consumption.
The measure is Cocoa supply, in kg/yr per person, year 2023. The source note stored with the series says: FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets, 2023: Cocoa Beans and products, food supply quantity (kg/capita/yr). FAO flag E (estimated). Countries that grind cocoa and export the chocolate can show a low figure, because the cocoa does not stay for residents.
Eight high values in the series
| # | Country | kg/yr per person |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cote d'Ivoire | 8.65 |
| 2 | Luxembourg | 5.42 |
| 3 | Iceland | 5.27 |
| 4 | Montenegro | 4.41 |
| 5 | Israel | 4.15 |
| 6 | France | 4.04 |
| 7 | United Kingdom | 3.94 |
| 8 | Norway | 3.86 |
Cote d'Ivoire leads this table at 8.65 kg/yr per person. After that: Luxembourg at 5.42 (3.23 kg/yr per person under Cote d'Ivoire); Iceland at 5.27 (0.15 kg/yr per person under Luxembourg); Montenegro at 4.41 (0.86 kg/yr per person under Iceland); Israel at 4.15 (0.26 kg/yr per person under Montenegro); France at 4.04 (0.11 kg/yr per person under Israel); United Kingdom at 3.94 (0.1 kg/yr per person under France); Norway at 3.86 (0.08 kg/yr per person under United Kingdom). Cote d'Ivoire is 2.241 times Norway. That multiple is the top row divided by the bottom row of this same table.
Contrasts already written for Guess the number
Guess the number shows one country's real value and asks you to type another. These fact lines are the ones stored with the pairs. They are not a new claim.
United Kingdom is 3.94 and Switzerland is 1.03. Switzerland makes the reputation and exports the bars, so residents are left with a small cocoa supply. The UK keeps much more. France is 4.04 and Switzerland is 1.03. France's supply is about four times Switzerland's. The famous maker is not the country that keeps the cocoa. United Kingdom is 3.94 and Germany is 0.71. Germany grinds and exports. The cocoa that stays for residents is under a kilogram, against nearly 4 kg in the UK. Iceland is 5.27 and Belgium is 2.01. Iceland's supply is above Belgium's. The praline country is not the higher account.
Cote d'Ivoire leads the top eight as a grower. Switzerland is not in this top eight. The stored facts say Switzerland exports the bars, so the cocoa that stays for residents is lower than the United Kingdom and France. The Netherlands is the extreme version of that export account: the stored fact says almost none stays as food supply. The source note says a grinding country can look low because the cocoa does not stay.
