Edible Offal of Cattle; Fresh; Chilled or Frozen Production by Country
Brazil stayed the second-largest edible cattle offal producer while adding 163,949 tonnes and accounting for more than half of the 2024 gain. The figures below reproduce FAO Crops and Livestock Products records for item Edible offal of cattle; fresh; chilled or frozen, 2020-2024, reporting production quantity in tonnes. The table lists 164 countries; 162 reported a 2024 quantity, and the 2024 annual listed total is 8,860,641 tonnes. The 2024 country list runs from the largest listed quantity to the smallest.
China produced 1.16 times as much as Brazil: 1,527,016 tonnes against 1,316,261, while the United States ranks third with 862,440 tonnes, 453,821 tonnes behind Brazil. The top two hold 32.1 percent of the listed total, with third and fourth at 862,440 and 540,944 tonnes respectively. In 2024, China was the largest listed producer of edible cattle offal with 1,527,016 tonnes. Brazil ranked second with 1,316,261 tonnes, followed by the United States with 862,440 tonnes and Argentina with 540,944 tonnes. The 2024 listed total was 8,860,641 tonnes across 162 reporting countries. From 2023 to 2024, production among countries reporting in both years increased by 313,941 tonnes, or 3.7 percent, with Brazil contributing 52.2 percent of that increase. China was the largest edible cattle offal producer in the 2024 listed data with 1,527,016 tonnes, followed by Brazil with 1,316,261 tonnes and the United States with 862,440 tonnes. Argentina ranked fourth with 540,944 tonnes. China holds 17.2 percent of the listed 2024 total. The top three together hold 41.8 percent of the 8,860,641-tonne listed total. From 2023 to 2024 the common reporter universe (162 countries with data in both years) moved from 8,546,700 tonnes to 8,860,641 tonnes, a change of 313,941 tonnes (3.7 percent). The totals listed for each year were 8,569,688 tonnes (163 reporters) and 8,860,641 tonnes (162 reporters); 1 country reporting in 2023 (22,989 tonnes, Nicaragua) did not report in 2024, while no new reporters joined. Brazil added 163,949 tonnes (up 14.2 percent), accounting for 52.2 percent of the increase, while China added 51,763 tonnes (up 3.5 percent) and Australia 49,690 tonnes (up 15.9 percent). Between 2020 and 2024, the common reporter universe (162 countries with data in both years) rose from 8,039,229 tonnes to 8,860,641 tonnes, a change of 821,412 tonnes (10.2 percent). The totals listed for each year were 8,063,641 tonnes (164 reporters) and 8,860,641 tonnes (162 reporters); 2 reporters present in 2020 (Nicaragua, 23,089 tonnes, and Palestine, 1,324 tonnes) are absent in 2024, while no new reporters joined. Brazil added 310,204 tonnes (up 30.8 percent) and China 209,014 tonnes (up 15.9 percent), while Australia added 65,048 tonnes (up 21.9 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 Edible offal of cattle; fresh; chilled or frozen, 2020-2024. For edible cattle offal production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 edible cattle offal production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the edible cattle offal production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For edible cattle offal production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
