Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products stocks quantity (Element 5111) for item Cattle and Buffaloes, 2020-2024. For cattle and buffaloes stocks, quantities are shown as whole head. The 2024 cattle and buffaloes stocks ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the cattle and buffaloes stocks data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For cattle and buffaloes stocks changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Stocks record the standing herd, not a production flow. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
