Meat Prepared n.e.c. Consumption by Country

In 2023, the United States recorded the largest listed food supply of prepared meat n.e.c., at 23,646 tonnes, or about 19.4 percent of the listed total. Belgium ranked second at 9,309 tonnes, followed by Ireland at 7,436 tonnes and Thailand at 6,453 tonnes. Mongolia ranked first per person at 5.05 grams a day, ahead of Ireland at 3.92 grams. The listed 2023 total was 122,205 tonnes, and 148 of the 153 country rows reported a value for that year, 132 of them above zero. These figures describe food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Meat Prepared n.e.c. Consumption

The three leading countries together held about 33.0 percent of the listed 2023 total, and the United States alone accounted for roughly 19.4 percent of it.

  • The United States recorded the largest decline by tonnage in the latest year.
  • New Zealand lost more than two-fifths of its 2022 level.
  • Spain recorded the largest listed gain by volume.
  • Saudi Arabia added 3,189 tonnes, up 98.6 percent.

The United States Records the Largest Recent Decline

The United States lost 12,074 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 33.8 percent. China lost 2,514 tonnes, down 38.1 percent, and New Zealand shed 1,769 tonnes, down 42.4 percent, to 2,400 tonnes. Spain added 4,650 tonnes, Saudi Arabia added 3,189 tonnes, up 98.6 percent, and Bangladesh rose from 1.33 tonnes to 3,023 tonnes, a change from a very small base. Every country with a 2022 value also reported one for 2023, so that shared total fell from 123,612 tonnes to 122,205 tonnes, down 1,407 tonnes, or 1.1 percent.

The United States Leads the Five-Year Increase

Between 2019 and 2023, the 145 countries with a value in both years rose from 94,243 tonnes to 119,601 tonnes, up 25,358 tonnes, or 26.9 percent. The United States added the most, at 15,660 tonnes, up 196.1 percent. Saudi Arabia added 6,409 tonnes from a small base of 15.41 tonnes, Mongolia added 5,821 tonnes, and the United Kingdom lost 8,891 tonnes, down 82.4 percent. New Zealand shed 4,788 tonnes and Iraq gave up 3,856 tonnes. Three countries entered the comparison with 2023 values and no 2019 value, while four left it.

Mongolia Leads Prepared Meat Supply per Person

Mongolia recorded 5.05 grams a day in 2023, ahead of Ireland at 3.92 grams in second and Kuwait at 3.54 grams in third. Tonga sat fourth at 2.49 grams. The United States, first by volume, recorded 0.19 grams a day, so the two rankings point to different countries.

What the FAO Meat Prepared n.e.c. Data Covers

The figures cover the Meat prepared n.e.c. category in FAO's Supply Utilization Accounts for 2019-2023, where n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified, so the category covers the products assigned to that classification rather than every type of prepared meat. Tonnage measures the quantity available for human consumption, while grams per person per day provide a population-adjusted measure, and neither one directly measures actual individual intake.

Sixteen countries reported zero tonnes in 2023, including Bulgaria, which fell from 270.78 tonnes in 2022, so that drop warrants a source check. Per-person values are reported at low precision too, so a figure of 0.19 grams or a value of zero can reflect rounding rather than a measured absence. A reported zero is a recorded value and a blank cell is missing data.

Methodology

The data come from FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts, using element 5141 for food supply quantity in tonnes and element 665 for food supply quantity in grams per capita per day, for meat prepared n.e.c. over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records. Of the 153 country rows, 148 reported a value in 2023 and 132 of those were above zero. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 148 countries for 2022-2023 and 145 for 2019-2023, 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 data, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimal places.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country has the highest prepared meat supply per person?

Mongolia ranked first in 2023 at 5.05 grams per person per day, ahead of Ireland at 3.92 grams in second place and Kuwait at 3.54 grams in third place overall.

Does the United States lead in both measures?

No. The United States ranked first in total tonnage at 23,646 tonnes, while Mongolia recorded the highest listed supply per person, so the two rankings differ.

Why can a country's reported supply change sharply in one year?

Bangladesh moved from 1.33 tonnes in 2022 to 3,023 tonnes in 2023, and similar movements can reflect shifts in recorded supply that the figures alone cannot explain.

Does food supply mean actual consumption?

No. Food supply represents the quantity available for human consumption, so it describes national availability rather than the amount individuals actually ate in each country.

What does n.e.c. mean in the FAO category?

It means not elsewhere classified. The category covers the products assigned to that classification in FAOSTAT rather than every type of prepared meat product indiscriminately.
