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 5112) for item Chickens, 2020-2024. For chickens stocks, quantities are shown as whole head. The 2024 chickens stocks ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the chickens stocks data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For chickens stocks changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Stocks record the standing flock, not a production flow. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
