Who eats the most rice?
by Andrew Nelson




O
         n average, each person in the
         world consumes more than
         50 kilograms of rice a year.1
         But, this average hides the
massive variability in consumption
patterns around the world. The map
(Fig. 1) shows an unusual view of the
world 2 in which each territory has been
distorted based on the proportion of
the world’s rice that is consumed there.
The coloring in the map represents the
consumption per capita, so the map
shows two key pieces of information
that dictate rice consumption patterns.
     Asia has a large share of the
world’s population and has high rates
of consumption. China and India
alone account for more than 50% of
the world’s rice consumption (Fig. 2).
But, they are by no means the highest
consumers per capita (see Table).
Higher rates are found in much of
South and Southeast Asia, West Africa,
Madagascar, and Guyana. Several
of these countries have per capita                                                                                                                                                                                  Kg/capita/yr

Who eats the most Rice ?

  • 1. Maps Who eats the most rice? by Andrew Nelson O n average, each person in the world consumes more than 50 kilograms of rice a year.1 But, this average hides the massive variability in consumption patterns around the world. The map (Fig. 1) shows an unusual view of the world 2 in which each territory has been distorted based on the proportion of the world’s rice that is consumed there. The coloring in the map represents the consumption per capita, so the map shows two key pieces of information that dictate rice consumption patterns. Asia has a large share of the world’s population and has high rates of consumption. China and India alone account for more than 50% of the world’s rice consumption (Fig. 2). But, they are by no means the highest consumers per capita (see Table). Higher rates are found in much of South and Southeast Asia, West Africa, Madagascar, and Guyana. Several of these countries have per capita Kg/capita/yr consumption rates over 100 kilograms Fig. 1. Territory size represents the proportion of milled rice worldwide that is consumed in that territory. < 12 12–36 36–72 72–120 >120 Color shows the per capita consumption of milled rice. Inset map shows a more traditional representation. per year, and Brunei tops the table at more than 20 kilograms per capita per month, compared with rates in Europe of less than 0.5 kilogram per month.
