In 2023, Belarus had the largest listed supply of beef and veal preparations at 64,179 tonnes, followed by the United Kingdom at 45,143 tonnes and Brazil at 32,016 tonnes. Belarus also ranked first per person at 19.29 grams per person per day, ahead of Nauru at 15.39 grams. The 2023 listed total was 531,391 tonnes across 172 countries with reported values. These FAO figures represent food available for human consumption, not the amount actually eaten.
Guatemala placed fourth at 31,176 tonnes, with the United States fifth at 29,373 and Germany sixth at 26,806. Bolivia, Pakistan, France and Canada closed the top ten between 20,615 and 26,478 tonnes. The top three held 26.6 percent of the annual listed consumption total, and the top five 38.0 percent. Belarus had the highest listed food supply at 64,179 tonnes, while Belarus also had the highest per-capita food supply at 19.29 grams per person. Brazil added 18,297 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, up 133.4 percent to 32,016 tonnes. Guatemala added 12,495 tonnes, up 66.9 percent. Belarus added 4,989 tonnes, up 8.4 percent. France added 4,704 tonnes, up 28.6 percent. Bolivia added 3,686 tonnes, up 16.2 percent. Hong Kong lost 8,696 tonnes, down 53.3 percent. Argentina shed 6,172 tonnes, down 63.1 percent. The United States gave up 5,832 tonnes, down 16.6 percent. The 172 countries present in both years rose from 505,810 tonnes to 531,391 tonnes, up 25,581 tonnes, or 5.1 percent, with no entries or exits. Between 2019 and 2023, the 172 countries present in both years inched from 525,218 tonnes to 531,391 tonnes, up 6,173 tonnes, or 1.2 percent. Brazil added 20,920 tonnes, up 188.5 percent. Guatemala added 12,121 tonnes, up 63.6 percent. The United States added 10,329 tonnes, up 54.2 percent. Mongolia added 7,057 tonnes from a zero base. Bolivia added 6,945 tonnes, up 35.6 percent. Hong Kong lost 26,853 tonnes, down 77.9 percent. Belarus shed 13,684 tonnes, down 17.6 percent. Belgium gave up 10,594 tonnes, down 73.6 percent. One country left with 3,280 tonnes, and none arrived. Belarus' 19.29 grams a day beat Nauru's 15.39 in second and Tuvalu's 9.29 in third. The Marshall Islands sat fourth at 9.15 grams, with Antigua and Barbuda at 8.91 and Seychelles at 7.16. Micronesia, Grenada, Bolivia and Kiribati followed below 6.7 grams. Belarus pairs first-place tonnage with the daily crown, a double nobody else approaches. Beef and veal preparations not elsewhere specified, for human consumption, are filed in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. The overall listed total changed little across the five-year window, rising just 1.2 percent from 2019 to 2023. Brazil's large increase offset much of Hong Kong's decline, but the two changes still differed by 5,933 tonnes. Mongolia rose from a reported zero in 2019 to 7,057 tonnes in 2023, so no percentage change is assigned. Belgium fell 73.6 percent across five years yet still reports. No reported zero followed a large value, so no source-check warning applies. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts enter tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for beef and veal preparations across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base, while changes from a zero base are not expressed as percentages. The dataset contains 173 reporting countries after aggregates are excluded, with 172 having a 2023 value. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Who trails Belarus per person?
Belarus clearly led beef preparations per person in 2023, far above second-placed Nauru at 15.39 grams with Tuvalu next at 9.29 grams a day overall.
How far ahead was Belarus?
Belarus had 64,179 tonnes in 2023, 1.42 times the United Kingdom's 45,143 tonnes and 12.1 percent of the annual listed total.
How much did Brazil add lately?
Brazil added 18,297 tonnes, up 133.4 percent in the latest year to 32,016 tonnes, the biggest single latest-year gain among all countries in the file.
Is this what people actually ate?
No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so eaten amounts stay below supply in every case.
What flattened five-year growth?
Hong Kong lost 26,853 tonnes over five years, while Brazil added 20,920 tonnes. Brazil's increase offset much of Hong Kong's decline, but the overall 172-country total still rose by 6,173 tonnes.
