Spain Records the Largest One-Year Decline

Spain lost 11,018 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 80.6 percent to 2,647 tonnes. Hong Kong lost 2,771 tonnes, down 29.8 percent. Brazil shed 598 tonnes, down 13.4 percent. France gave up 491 tonnes, down 12.6 percent. Italy fell 418 tonnes, down 59.7 percent. Belgium added 549 tonnes, up 22.7 percent. The Netherlands added 500 tonnes, up 5.7 percent. Mongolia added 448 tonnes, up 5.8 percent. The 141 countries with reported values in both years fell from 105,018 tonnes to 90,715 tonnes, down 14,303 tonnes, or 13.6 percent. Sierra Leone reported 32.7 tonnes in 2022 with no 2023 value, while Comoros and Vietnam first reported values in 2023, totalling 2,863 tonnes.

How Salted Bovine Meat Supply Changed Since 2019

Between 2019 and 2023, the 137 countries with reported values in both years grew from 77,470 tonnes to 90,705 tonnes, up 13,235 tonnes, or 17.1 percent. The Netherlands added 6,897 tonnes, up 287.9 percent from 2,396, accounting for 52.1 percent of the net gain. Hong Kong added 6,136 tonnes from 379. India went from 5,093 tonnes in 2019 to a reported zero in 2023. Mongolia added 4,366 tonnes, up 116.7 percent. Belgium added 2,284 tonnes, up 331.7 percent. Brazil added 1,782 tonnes, up 85.7 percent. Spain lost 2,652 tonnes, down 50.0 percent. Denmark shed 1,729 tonnes, down 93.6 percent. Eight countries with 8 tonnes in 2019 were absent from the comparison, while six additional countries contributed 2,873 tonnes to the 2023 total.

Mongolia Leads in Per-Person Food Supply

Mongolia ranked first in 2023 at 6.47 grams per person per day, followed by Hong Kong at 2.40 grams. Hungary placed third at 1.50 grams, with the Netherlands at 1.41 and Antigua and Barbuda at 1.12. The Bahamas reported 1.10 grams, with Suriname at 1.02, Belarus at 0.91, Estonia at 0.84 and Belgium at 0.70. Pakistan, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten. Total tonnage and per-person figures describe different measures: the first reflects overall volume, the second adjusts for population.

What the Data Covers

Salted, dried or smoked bovine meat for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. The dataset includes 151 countries and areas that reported a value in at least one year; 143 have a reported value for 2023. Annual totals sum the reporting countries and areas for each year, excluding aggregate rows. Comparisons between years use only countries and areas with values at both endpoints.

India fell from 5,093 tonnes in 2019 to a reported zero in 2023, and Uruguay dropped from 187.85 tonnes in 2022 to 3.04 tonnes in 2023, while the Philippines went from 12.01 tonnes in 2019 to zero. Such reported zeros are retained as supplied by FAO. Whether they reflect real changes in availability or changes in reporting cannot be determined from this table alone, so sharp falls to zero should be checked against the original FAOSTAT records before being interpreted.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts report salted bovine meat food supply in tonnes under element 5141 and in grams per person per day under element 665. This page covers the 2019-2023 period. Annual totals sum the reporting countries and areas with a value for the relevant year; aggregate rows are excluded. Year-to-year comparisons include only countries and areas with values in both comparison years. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated when that value is zero. Reported zeros are retained, while blank cells indicate missing values. These figures describe food available for human consumption and should not be interpreted as direct measurements of the amount people actually ate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the largest listed supply of salted bovine meat in 2023?

Pakistan ranked first in 2023, with 12,134 tonnes, followed by the Netherlands with 9,293 tonnes in the same listed table that year, with Mongolia third at 8,107 tonnes.

How far ahead was Mongolia in per-person food supply?

Mongolia led food supply per person in 2023, well ahead of Hong Kong at 2.40 grams per day in the same listed table that year.

Which country recorded the sharpest one-year decline?

Spain recorded the sharpest one-year decline among the compared countries, losing 11,018 tonnes, or 80.6 percent, to 2,647 tonnes, a loss of 80.6 percent over the annual comparison period.

How did the Netherlands' listed supply change between 2019 and 2023?

The Netherlands added 6,897 tonnes between 2019 and 2023, up 287.9 percent, accounting for 52.1 percent of the net listed gain over the five-year comparison period.

Why should India's reported zero in 2023 be checked against the source?

India fell from 5,093 tonnes in 2019 to a reported zero in 2023. Such a sharp fall to zero should be checked against FAOSTAT records before being read as a real change.
