Meat of Chickens, Fresh or Chilled Consumption by Country

In 2023, the United States had the largest listed supply of fresh or chilled chicken meat, at 16,252,469 tonnes, narrowly ahead of China at 16,092,848 tonnes. Brazil ranked third with 9,820,763 tonnes. On a per-person basis, Tonga led with 232.53 grams a day, followed by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at 214.01 grams. The listed 2023 total was 116,876,700 tonnes, and 176 of the 177 country rows reported a value for that year. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Meat of Chickens, Fresh or Chilled Consumption

The United States, China and Brazil together held about 36.1 percent of the listed 2023 total, with the United States alone accounting for roughly 13.9 percent. The gap between the two leading countries was under 160,000 tonnes, while Russia placed fourth at 5,038,424 tonnes. Total tonnage shows the scale of the recorded national supply, while grams per person per day gives a population-adjusted comparison.

  • Saudi Arabia recorded the largest listed decline by volume in the latest year.
  • Angola lost about a quarter of its 2022 level.
  • China added more than one million tonnes, the largest listed gain.
  • Indonesia grew faster in percentage terms than China but added less in volume.

Chicken Supply Falls in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia recorded the largest listed decline by volume from 2022 to 2023, losing 197,379 tonnes, down 12.3 percent to 1,409,702 tonnes. Angola lost 95,491 tonnes, down 26.1 percent, and South Africa shed 68,625 tonnes, down 3.1 percent. Indonesia added 335,307 tonnes, up 8.2 percent, China added 1,096,977 tonnes, up 7.3 percent, and the United States added 220,878 tonnes, up 1.4 percent. The 176 countries with a value in both years rose from 113,868,223 tonnes to 116,876,700 tonnes, up 3,008,477 tonnes, or 2.6 percent, with no countries joining or leaving the set.

China Leads the Five-Year Increase

Between 2019 and 2023, the same set of countries rose from 109,604,150 tonnes by 7,272,550 tonnes, or 6.6 percent. China recorded the largest increase, adding 806,167 tonnes, up 5.3 percent, to reach 16,092,848 tonnes. India added 676,684 tonnes, up 15.6 percent, and Pakistan added 640,602 tonnes, up 42.3 percent. Myanmar recorded the largest decline, losing 800,460 tonnes, down 57.5 percent. The United States shed 501,849 tonnes, down 3.0 percent, and Morocco gave up 213,253 tonnes, down 27.2 percent. Cuba reported 318,948 tonnes in 2019 and no value for 2023, so it sits outside this comparison; no other country joined or left the set.

Tonga Leads Chicken Supply per Person

Tonga recorded the highest listed supply per person in 2023, at 232.53 grams a day, ahead of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at 214.01 grams in second and Guyana at 208.14 grams in third. The Marshall Islands sat fourth at 198.97 grams, with Samoa at 187.09 grams and Antigua and Barbuda at 168.47 grams. The United States, first by volume, ranked sixteenth per person at 129.64 grams, so the two rankings point to very different countries.

What the Chicken Supply Figures Measure

Meat of chickens, fresh or chilled, available for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Total tonnage and the per-person measure describe different aspects of the same recorded supply, and neither one shows how much people actually ate.

No reported zero appears anywhere in this table, so the only missing cells belong to Cuba, which has no value after 2019. The Myanmar fall ends at a still substantial 591,866 tonnes, and the five-year changes in this item are large enough to justify checking the underlying records before drawing conclusions from them.

Methodology

The source is FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts. Element 5141 reports food supply quantity in tonnes and element 665 reports it in grams per capita per day, for meat of chickens, fresh or chilled, over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records. Of the 177 country rows, 176 reported a value in 2023. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, and the country count and both totals come from that shared set. Percentage changes use the earlier year as the base and are not calculated when that base is zero. Reported zeros are kept as values, blank cells are treated as missing, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country had the highest chicken supply per person in 2023?

Tonga ranked first at 232.53 grams per person per day, ahead of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at 214.01 grams and Guyana at 208.14 grams in third place.

What share of listed chicken supply came from the United States?

The United States accounted for about 13.9 percent of the 2023 listed total of 116,876,700 tonnes, and the United States, China and Brazil together held about 36.1 percent.

Which country recorded the largest one-year decline in chicken supply?

Saudi Arabia had the largest reported decline by tonnage among the listed countries, falling by 197,379 tonnes between 2022 and 2023 to 1,409,702 tonnes in that period.

Do these figures represent the amount of chicken people actually ate?

No. The FAO food-supply measure records chicken available for human consumption, so it describes national availability rather than individual intake and should not be read as a direct measurement of food eaten.

Which country recorded the largest increase over 2019-2023?

China recorded the largest increase in tonnage among the countries with comparable data, adding 806,167 tonnes to reach 16,092,848 tonnes in 2023 over the five-year period.
