Meat of Cattle Boneless, Fresh or Chilled Consumption by Country
The United States recorded the largest boneless beef food supply in 2023, at 8,459,701 tonnes, accounting for 34.6 percent of the annual listed total. Brazil followed with 3,734,277 tonnes and China with 2,299,757 tonnes. The United States also ranked first per person, at 67.48 grams per day. The dataset covers 173 countries or reporting areas, with 2023 values available for 172, and tracks FAO food supply figures from 2019 to 2023.
Mexico ranked fourth in 2023 with 1,634,008 tonnes, followed by France at 1,088,912 and Germany at 776,000. The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Spain completed the top ten. The three largest suppliers accounted for 59.2 percent of the annual listed total, while the top five accounted for 70.3 percent. Brazil added 301,179 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, up 8.8 percent to 3,734,277 tonnes. Mexico added 88,428 tonnes, up 5.7 percent. Guatemala added 83,555 tonnes, up 61.8 percent. China added 44,743 tonnes, up 2.0 percent. The United States lost 92,540 tonnes, down 1.1 percent. France shed 53,309 tonnes, down 4.7 percent. The Philippines gave up 34,965 tonnes, down 20.9 percent. Israel fell 34,872 tonnes, down 30.3 percent. The 172 countries present in both years rose from 24,151,110 tonnes to 24,476,204 tonnes, up 325,094 tonnes, or 1.3 percent, covering the same 172 countries in both years. Between 2019 and 2023, the 171 countries present in both years advanced from 23,375,646 tonnes to 24,475,900 tonnes, up 1,100,254 tonnes, or 4.7 percent. China added 901,012 tonnes, up 64.4 percent, accounting for 81.9 percent of the net gain. Brazil added 240,987 tonnes, up 6.9 percent. The United States added 185,392 tonnes, up 2.2 percent. Mexico added 114,621 tonnes, up 7.5 percent. Guatemala added 81,591 tonnes, up 59.5 percent. Iran lost 157,971 tonnes, down 86.0 percent. Egypt shed 129,089 tonnes, down 57.7 percent. Russia gave up 109,138 tonnes, down 42.2 percent. One country left with 1,962 tonnes, and one arrived with 304. The United States' 67.48 grams a day beat Australia's 54.96 in second and Brazil's 48.46 in third. Canada sat fourth at 48.21 grams, with France at 44.90 and French Polynesia at 40.50. Denmark, Sweden, Botswana and Chile followed below 41 grams. Boneless beef, fresh or chilled, for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. The short name above covers that official cut, pinned here and in the methodology. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Iran's 86.0 percent five-year fall ends at 25,650 tonnes, not zero. Egypt's 57.7 percent fall and Russia's 42.2 percent land the same way. Guatemala added 61.8 percent lately and 59.5 percent across five years. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for boneless beef across 2019-2023. The official item reads meat of cattle boneless, fresh or chilled, shortened above for readability. Percentages use the earlier year's value as the base; percentage changes are not calculated from a zero baseline. The dataset contains 173 reporting countries or areas after aggregate rows are excluded, 172 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 24,476,204 tonnes is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the highest boneless beef food supply in 2023?
The United States ranked first with a reported 8,459,701 tonnes, representing 34.6 percent of the annual listed total in 2023, ahead of Brazil at 3,734,277 tonnes in the same table.
Which country had the highest boneless beef food supply per person?
The United States led at 67.48 grams per person per day, followed by Australia at 54.96 grams per day, with Brazil third at 48.46 grams per day in the same table.
Does food supply mean the amount of beef people actually ate?
No. Reported FAO food supply figures measure food available for human consumption and do not directly measure actual intake by individuals in the reference year.
Why is the five-year comparison total different from the 2023 annual total?
The annual total includes all reporting countries with 2023 values. The five-year comparison uses only countries with values at both endpoints, excluding countries such as Cuba and Tajikistan from that comparison.
How much did boneless beef food supply change between 2019 and 2023?
For the 171 countries with values in both years, the total rose from 23,375,646 to 24,475,900 tonnes, an increase of 1,100,254 tonnes, or 4.7 percent over the period.
Data Disclaimer: Projected data (future years) are estimates based on mathematical models. Actual values may differ. Learn about our methodology →
