Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Meat of turkeys; fresh or chilled, 2020-2024. For fresh or chilled turkey meat production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 fresh or chilled turkey meat production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the fresh or chilled turkey meat production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For fresh or chilled turkey meat production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
