Meat of Other Domestic Rodents, Fresh or Chilled Consumption by Country

Peru recorded the largest listed food supply of fresh or chilled meat of other domestic rodents in 2023, at 13,402 tonnes, accounting for about 71.8 percent of the 18,673-tonne total reported by the two countries in this dataset. Bolivia ranked second by volume, with 5,271 tonnes, but led on a per-person basis at 1.18 grams a day, compared with 1.08 grams for Peru. These FAO Supply Utilization Account figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

• Peru recorded a small decline in the latest year.
• Bolivia recorded a one-tonne rise.
• Across the two countries, the listed total fell slightly in 2022-2023.
• From 2019 to 2023, the combined total rose modestly, with Peru accounting for almost all of the rise.

Peru Records a Small Year-on-Year Decline

Peru's listed supply fell by 32 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 0.2 percent from 13,434 tonnes. Bolivia increased by 1 tonne to 5,271 tonnes. Across both reporting countries, the total declined from 18,704 to 18,673 tonnes, a drop of 31 tonnes, or 0.2 percent, and both countries reported values in both years.

Listed Supply Edges Up Over Five Years

Between 2019 and 2023, the combined total for Bolivia and Peru increased from 18,626 to 18,673 tonnes, a rise of 47 tonnes, or 0.3 percent. Peru's supply grew by 45 tonnes, up 0.3 percent, while Bolivia's rose by 2 tonnes. Both countries reported values at both endpoints.

Bolivia Leads on a Per-Person Basis

Bolivia recorded 1.18 grams per person per day in 2023, compared with 1.08 grams in Peru. Although Peru had the larger total supply, Bolivia ranked first on this population-adjusted measure.

What the Data Covers

The dataset covers fresh or chilled meat of other domestic rodents reported by Bolivia and Peru. In 2023, the two countries accounted for the full listed total. The tonnage and per-person figures describe food available for human consumption; they do not directly measure actual intake or explain why supply differs between the countries.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts report food supply quantity in tonnes under element 5141 and in grams per capita per day under element 665, for meat of other domestic rodents, fresh or chilled, over 2019-2023. The 2023 total sums the reporting countries with available values. Year-to-year and five-year comparisons include only countries with values at both endpoints. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base and are not calculated from a zero base. Reported zeros are retained, while blanks are treated as missing data, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimal places.
