India was the largest unrendered buffalo fat producer in the 2024 listed data with 280,125 tonnes, followed by Pakistan with 88,883 tonnes and China with 55,402 tonnes. Egypt ranked fourth with 5,532 tonnes. India holds 63.1 percent of the listed 2024 total. The top three together hold 95.7 percent of the 443,651-tonne listed total. From 2023 to 2024 the common reporter universe (26 countries with data in both years) moved from 432,108 tonnes to 443,651 tonnes, a change of 11,543 tonnes (2.7 percent). The totals listed for each year were 432,108 tonnes (26 reporters) and 443,651 tonnes (26 reporters); no country exited and no new reporter joined. India added 5,830 tonnes (up 2.1 percent) and Pakistan 3,483 tonnes (up 4.1 percent), while China added 1,878 tonnes (up 3.5 percent). Between 2020 and 2024, the common reporter universe (26 countries with data in both years) rose from 375,348 tonnes to 443,651 tonnes, a change of 68,303 tonnes (18.2 percent). The totals listed for each year were 375,348 tonnes (26 reporters) and 443,651 tonnes (26 reporters); no reporter present in 2020 is absent in 2024, while no new reporters joined. India added 49,398 tonnes (up 21.4 percent), accounting for 72.3 percent of the increase, while Pakistan added 10,623 tonnes (up 13.6 percent) and China 7,583 tonnes (up 15.9 percent). Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Buffalo fat; unrendered, 2020-2024. For unrendered buffalo fat production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 unrendered buffalo fat production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the unrendered buffalo fat production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For unrendered buffalo fat production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How much of the 2020–2024 increase came from India?
India added 49,398 tonnes (up 21.4 percent) against a common-universe gain of 68,303 tonnes, accounting for 72.3 percent of the increase. Pakistan added a further 10,623 tonnes (up 13.6 percent).
What did Venezuela do without a rate attached?
Venezuela rose from 646.77 tonnes in 2020 to 1,428 tonnes in 2024, a change of 781.23 tonnes. The 2020 base sits below 1,000 tonnes, so no percent is attached; Venezuela reports in both years, so the climb sits inside the change universe.
Did the group of reporting countries change?
No. The same 26 countries reported in 2020, 2023 and 2024, so both change universes equal the reporter set and the listed totals move only on reported quantities.
