Methodology

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 sheep; fresh; chilled or frozen, 2020-2024. For edible sheep offal production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 edible sheep offal production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the edible sheep offal production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For edible sheep offal production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did India offset the 2024 decline?

India added 18,964 tonnes (up 13.2 percent) against a common-universe fall of 17,831 tonnes, offsetting 106.4 percent of the decline. China fell 13,780 tonnes (down 2.5 percent) in the same universe.

Where did Nicaragua go in 2024?

Nicaragua reported 5.85 tonnes in 2020 and 5.91 tonnes in 2023, then nothing in 2024. Blank cells mean not reported rather than zero, so Nicaragua sits outside both change universes while shaping the listed totals.

Who is the new reporter since 2020?

Bhutan reported 3.9 tonnes in 2024 and nothing in 2020. Blank cells mean not reported rather than zero, so Bhutan sits outside the 2020-2024 change universe with negligible listed weight.
