Edible Offal of Buffalo, Fresh, Chilled or Frozen Consumption by Country

India recorded the largest buffalo offal food supply in 2023, at 489,356 tonnes, or 52.5 percent of the 932,646-tonne total reported across countries with available data. China ranked second at 221,460 tonnes, followed by Pakistan at 113,084 tonnes. Nepal had the highest per-capita supply, at 2.03 grams per person per day, ahead of Laos at 1.35 grams and Pakistan at 1.25 grams. These figures come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts and represent food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Egypt placed fourth at 33,647 tonnes, with Nepal fifth at 22,036 and the Philippines sixth at 10,290. Vietnam, Venezuela, Myanmar and Indonesia closed the top ten between 4,470 and 6,801 tonnes. The top three held 88.3 percent of the annual listed food supply total, and the top five 94.3 percent. India had the highest listed food supply, while Nepal had the highest per-capita food supply.

• Indian buffalo offal grows: up 13,137 tonnes, or 2.8 percent, widening the lead.
• Chinese buffalo offal grows: up 10,128 tonnes, or 4.8 percent, firming second place.
• Pakistani buffalo offal grows: up 3,244 tonnes, or 3.0 percent, holding third.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for buffalo offal across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base, and zero bases use none. The universe counts 35 countries minus aggregates, 33 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 932,646 tonnes is the sum of the 33 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.
