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 Goat fat; unrendered, 2020-2024. For unrendered goat fat production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 unrendered goat fat production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the unrendered goat fat production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For unrendered goat fat 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 much did India contribute to the increase since 2020?

India added 20,409 tonnes (up 42.1 percent) against a common-universe gain of 38,581 tonnes, accounting for 52.9 percent of the increase. China added a further 4,987 tonnes (up 5.2 percent).

How did Mongolia halve since 2020?

Mongolia fell from 3,523 tonnes in 2020 to 1,740 tonnes in 2024, a change of -1,783 tonnes (down 50.6 percent). Mongolia reports in both years, so the halving sits inside the change universe.

Where did Nicaragua go in 2024?

Nicaragua reported 1.17 tonnes in 2020 and 1.19 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.
