Food Availability

Contents
 

ERS annually calculates the amounts of several hundred foods available for human consumption in the United States and provides estimates of per capita availability. Previously, this annual series was called the “food supply” or “food disappearance” data.

Custom QueriesCustom Queries allow the user to make tailored tables and charts, download data, and save and print images. This option does not offer the complete coverage available in the spreadsheets, but rather focuses on per capita estimates.

SpreadsheetsSpreadsheets give the full detail of ERS supply and disappearance tables, and are available in Excel format.
