According to data from the National Food Agency (Bapanas), Indonesia's household consumption of shallots reached 797,300 tons in 2023.
This volume decreased by 4.4% compared to 2022, but it is still slightly higher than five years ago, as shown in the graph.
This decrease in national household consumption is accompanied by a decline in per capita consumption.
In 2023, the average Indonesian consumed 2.86 kilograms of shallots per capita per year, a 5.3% decrease compared to 2022.
Shallots are not a primary source of calories, although they are commonly used as a cooking spice.
According to Bapanas, in 2023, the average Indonesian consumed food with a total energy content of 2,088 kilocalories per capita per day.
The energy contribution from the consumption of spices is only 6 kilocalories, or 0.3% of the total daily caloric intake.
