Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Cocoa Beans Consumption per Capita — Cocoa beans consumption per capita refers to the average amount of cocoa beans available for consumption per person in a country, measured in grams per person per year. The indicator represents the per capita availability of cocoa beans based on food supply data, reflecting the estimated quantity of cocoa beans available for human consumption after accounting for production, imports, exports, and other supply adjustments. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country time series, with values reported annually for the selected period.
The data includes the estimated per capita availability of cocoa beans for human consumption, calculated from national food supply balances. It covers cocoa beans as a food commodity and reflects factors such as domestic production, imports, exports, stock changes, and other supply-side adjustments used to estimate food availability. The dataset is compiled from food balance statistics based on sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, with values standardized on a per-person basis for cross-country comparison.
The data excludes actual individual consumption patterns, household-level consumption surveys, and differences in consumption behavior among population groups. It does not measure the consumption of processed chocolate products, cocoa powder, cocoa butter, or other cocoa-derived products separately. The indicator also excludes non-food uses of cocoa beans, food waste at the retail or household level, and informal or unrecorded consumption activities. Values represent food availability estimates rather than direct measurements of cocoa beans physically consumed by individuals.
About this indicator
Cocoa Beans Consumption per Capita — Cocoa beans consumption per capita refers to the average amount of cocoa beans available for consumption per person in a country, measured in grams per person per year. The indicator represents the per capita availability of cocoa beans based on food supply data, reflecting the estimated quantity of cocoa beans available for human consumption after accounting for production, imports, exports, and other supply adjustments. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-by-country time series, with values reported annually for the selected period.
Validated Our World in Data data shows per capita cocoa beans consumption increased from 1.46 kg in 2015 to 1.73 kg in 2023. Despite annual fluctuations, Indonesia maintained a relatively strong cocoa consumption level, supported by its large consumer base, expanding retail sector, and increasing popularity of confectionery products.
During the early period, consumption declined from 1.46 kg in 2015 to 1.28 kg in 2016, before recovering significantly to 1.69 kg in 2017 and 1.78 kg in 2018. This growth reflected improving consumer demand, increasing availability of chocolate products, and stronger adoption of cocoa-based foods among urban consumers. However, consumption declined again to 1.45 kg in 2019, indicating temporary moderation in market demand.
In 2020, consumption increased to 2.00 kg, representing the highest level during the study period. This growth was supported by increased household consumption, greater demand for packaged food products, and changing consumption patterns during the pandemic period. However, consumption moderated to 1.72 kg in 2021 and declined further to 1.59 kg in 2022 as consumer behavior normalized and economic conditions adjusted.
In 2023, consumption recovered to 1.73 kg, reflecting renewed demand for chocolate products, improving consumer confidence, and continued expansion of cocoa-based food applications.
Overall, Indonesia's cocoa consumption market demonstrates resilience and long-term growth potential, supported by its large population, established cocoa industry, and increasing consumer interest in chocolate products. The dataset provides valuable insights for chocolate manufacturers, cocoa suppliers, retailers, and investors to analyze consumption trends, benchmark market performance, forecast demand, and understand evolving consumer preferences within Indonesia's cocoa market.
