Greece Slips in Meat of Goat, Fresh or Chilled

Greece lost 14,421 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 45.0 percent to 17,627 tonnes. The United States lost 10,630 tonnes, down 35.9 percent. Malawi shed 10,478 tonnes, down 15.0 percent. India added 175,145 tonnes, up 12.4 percent. Ethiopia added 46,313 tonnes, up 48.7 percent. China added 41,963 tonnes, up 1.7 percent. The 164 countries present in both years rose from 6,670,740 tonnes to 6,928,576 tonnes, up 257,836 tonnes, or 3.9 percent, with one departure holding nothing and two arrivals with 1 tonne.

India Nearly Triples Five-Year Meat of Goat, Fresh or Chilled

Between 2019 and 2023, the 162 countries present in both years rose from 5,543,774 tonnes to 6,928,564 tonnes, up 1,384,790 tonnes, or 25.0 percent. India added 1,038,066 tonnes, up 188.6 percent. China added 146,842 tonnes, up 6.4 percent. Türkiye added 112,453 tonnes, up 680.1 percent. Myanmar lost 71,353 tonnes, down 87.7 percent. Burkina Faso gave up 35,995 tonnes, down 57.1 percent. Iran shed 15,374 tonnes, down 31.0 percent. Three countries left with 2,302 tonnes, against four arrivals with 13.

Mongolia Leads Meat of Goat, Fresh or Chilled per Person

Mongolia's 73.47 grams a day towered over the Emirates' 12.02 in second and Mauritania's 10.64 in third. Oman sat fourth at 10.12 grams, with Malawi at 7.74 and Albania at 7.37. Nepal, Yemen, Eswatini and Pakistan followed below 7.2 grams. China, first by volume, sat far down the daily table. Mongolia therefore ranked first by per-person supply despite ranking well below the largest countries by total volume.

What the Meat of Goat, Fresh or Chilled Data Covers

Fresh or chilled goat meat for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. The table added a quarter in five years on Indian gains, and rose lately. Tonnage shows the total food supply reported for each country, while the per-person measure adjusts that supply for population size.

Myanmar's 87.7 percent five-year fall ends at 10,000 tonnes yet still reports, so it reads as retreat without a warning. Azerbaijan and Nauru sit at reported zero after minor levels that take no warning. No large value fell to zero, so no source-check warning applies.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for fresh goat meat across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base, and no percentage is calculated when that base is zero. The dataset contains 169 reporting-country rows after aggregate entries are excluded, with 166 countries reporting a 2023 value. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 6,928,577 tonnes is the sum of the 166 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

Who trails Mongolia per person?

Mongolia clearly led goat per person in 2023, far above second-placed Emirates at 12.02 grams with Mauritania next at 10.64 grams a day overall in 2023.

How concentrated is goat meat supply among the leading countries?

Highly concentrated: China held 35.3 percent of the listed total in 2023, while the top three reached 66.1 percent and the top five 73.5 percent.

Who lost most lately?

Greece lost 14,421 tonnes, down 45.0 percent in the latest year to 17,627 tonnes, the deepest single latest-year loss among all countries in the file.

Is this what people actually ate?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so eaten amounts stay below supply in every case.

Which country had the largest five-year increase?

India alone added 1,038,066 tonnes, up by 188.6 percent across the full five years, the deepest single five-year gain among all countries in the file.
