Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for fresh sheep meat across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base and are not calculated when that value is zero. The universe counts 177 countries minus aggregates, 176 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total is the sum of every country with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and values below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimal places.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who trails Mongolia per person?

Bahrain ranked second at 58.86 grams per person per day, followed by Tonga at 56.12 grams and Iceland at 47.10 grams in 2023.

How concentrated is sheep meat supply?

China accounted for 30.5 percent of the 2023 listed total, while the top three countries together accounted for 46.3 percent.

Who lost most lately?

America lost 30,379 tonnes, down 15.0 percent in the latest year to 172,391 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.
