China ranked first in bone-in beef food supply in 2023, with 7,211,170 tonnes, representing 23.3 percent of the annual listed total across reporting countries. Argentina ranked third by total volume but first per person, at 133.41 grams per person per day, ahead of Zimbabwe at 119.98 grams. The figures come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts and measure food available for human consumption, not actual dietary intake.

Brazil Records the Largest Annual Increase in Bone-In Beef Food Supply

Brazil added 344,147 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, up 12.8 percent to 3,041,458 tonnes. China added 312,369 tonnes, up 4.5 percent. Argentina added 135,498 tonnes, up 6.5 percent. Türkiye added 125,910 tonnes, up 8.2 percent. Russia added 36,271 tonnes, up 2.3 percent. Uzbekistan added 36,072 tonnes, up 3.3 percent. Italy lost 92,590 tonnes, down 11.3 percent. Iran shed 42,574 tonnes, down 14.7 percent. The 160 countries present in both years rose from 29,862,469 tonnes to 30,901,342 tonnes, up 1,038,873 tonnes, or 3.5 percent, with one arrival carrying 6,275 tonnes.

China Drives the Net Five-Year Increase in Bone-In Beef Food Supply

Between 2019 and 2023, the 156 countries present in both years grew from 30,263,460 tonnes to 30,893,341 tonnes, up 629,881 tonnes, or 2.1 percent. China added 942,172 tonnes, up 15.0 percent, accounting for 149.6 percent of the net gain. India's reported quantity fell from 770,000 tonnes in 2019 to zero in 2023. Because this is a substantial change, the original FAOSTAT record should be checked before interpreting it as a genuine disappearance of food supply. The reported zero is retained in the dataset. Türkiye added 607,959 tonnes, up 58.0 percent. Uzbekistan added 141,858 tonnes, up 14.4 percent. Zimbabwe added 109,753 tonnes, up 18.1 percent. Myanmar lost 319,790 tonnes, down 74.4 percent. Italy shed 182,051 tonnes, down 20.0 percent. Iran gave up 122,334 tonnes, down 33.0 percent, to 25,650 tonnes. Two countries left with 132,767 tonnes, against five arrivals with 14,276.

Argentina Leads in Per-Capita Food Supply

Argentina's 133.41 grams a day beat Zimbabwe's 119.98 in second and Uzbekistan's 86.52 in third. Turkmenistan sat fourth at 64.25 grams, with Tajikistan at 59.84 and Uruguay at 55.36. Ireland, Armenia, Türkiye and Bolivia followed below 55 grams. China, first by volume, missed the per-person top ten.

What the Meat of Cattle with the Bone, Fresh or Chilled Data Covers

Bone-in 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.

Myanmar's 74.4 percent five-year fall ends at 109,950 tonnes, not zero. India's reported quantity fell from 770,000 tonnes in 2019 to zero in 2023. Because this is a substantial change, the original FAOSTAT record should be checked before interpreting it as a genuine disappearance of food supply. The reported zero is retained in the dataset.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for bone-in beef across 2019-2023. The official item reads meat of cattle with the bone, fresh or chilled, shortened above for readability. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base. Percentage changes are not calculated when the base value is zero. The universe counts 163 countries minus aggregates, 161 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 30,907,617 tonnes is the sum of the 161 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the largest bone-in beef food supply in 2023?

China ranked first with a reported 7,211,170 tonnes, or 23.3 percent of the annual listed total in 2023, ahead of Brazil at 3,041,458 tonnes in the same table.

Which country ranks first per person?

Argentina led with 133.41 grams per person per day, followed by Zimbabwe at 119.98 grams per day, with Uzbekistan third at 86.52 grams per day in the same table.

Why does China rank first in tonnes but not per person?

Total reported food supply measures a country's aggregate quantity, while the per-capita figure expresses daily food supply relative to its population in the reference year.

How much did the total change from 2019 to 2023?

Among the 156 countries with values in both years, listed food supply increased by 629,881 tonnes, or 2.1 percent, from 30,263,460 to 30,893,341 tonnes over the five-year comparison period.

Should India's reported zero be interpreted as no food supply?

Not without checking the original record. The dataset reports zero for 2023 after 770,000 tonnes in 2019, but this large change should be verified before drawing a substantive conclusion.
