Offals n.e.c. (Excluding Mammals), Fresh, Chilled or Frozen Consumption by Country
In 2023, China recorded the largest listed supply of offals n.e.c. excluding mammals, at 3,179 tonnes, or about 25.1 percent of the listed total. Ghana ranked second at 3,074 tonnes, followed by Canada at 1,831 tonnes and Germany at 1,161 tonnes. Grenada ranked first per person at 1.78 grams a day, ahead of Barbados at 1.06 grams. The listed 2023 total was 12,656 tonnes, and 70 of the 85 country rows reported a value for that year, 42 of them above zero. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the quantity actually eaten.
The three leading countries together accounted for about 63.9 percent of the listed 2023 total, with China alone supplying roughly 25.1 percent of it. Saudi Arabia lost 9,508 tonnes between 2022 and 2023 and reported zero for 2023, and Tunisia fell from 358.48 tonnes to a reported zero. Bahrain shed 262.81 tonnes, down 36.7 percent. Jamaica added 179.62 tonnes, Ghana added 2,968 tonnes, and the Dominican Republic added 97.86 tonnes, up 135.2 percent. The 67 countries with a value in both years fell from 20,248 tonnes to 12,635 tonnes, down 7,613 tonnes, or 37.6 percent, with Chile and Lithuania leaving while Albania, Macau and the Marshall Islands entered. Between 2019 and 2023, the 56 countries with a value in both years fell from 28,150 tonnes to 12,491 tonnes, down 15,659 tonnes, or 55.6 percent. Saudi Arabia recorded the largest decline, falling from 11,263 tonnes to a reported zero. The Netherlands shed 3,419 tonnes, down 92.4 percent, and China gave up 2,355 tonnes, down 42.6 percent. Ghana recorded the largest increase, adding 2,450 tonnes, up 393.1 percent, while Canada added 433 tonnes, up 31.0 percent, and Angola added 283.94 tonnes. Fourteen countries entered the comparison with 2023 values and no 2019 value, while ten left it. Grenada recorded 1.78 grams a day in 2023, ahead of Barbados at 1.06 grams in second and Bahrain at 0.79 grams in third. Qatar sat fourth at 0.41 grams. A large national total and a high per-person figure point to very different countries here. Offals n.e.c. excluding mammals, fresh, chilled or frozen, available for human consumption are recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for 2019-2023, where n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified and the category covers the products assigned to that statistical classification rather than all offal products. Annual totals sum reporting countries only, and the listed total is not a world figure that includes regional aggregates. Total tonnage shows the scale of reported food supply, while grams per person per day adjust the figures for population size. Saudi Arabia's series changes sharply enough to warrant a source check: it reported 11,263 tonnes in 2019, 9,508 tonnes in 2022, and zero in 2023, and the data alone cannot say why. Twenty-eight countries reported zero tonnes in 2023 in total. A reported zero is a recorded value and a blank cell is missing data, so the fifteen rows without a 2023 value cannot be read as zero supply. 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 offals n.e.c. excluding mammals, fresh, chilled or frozen, over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records. Of the 85 country rows, 70 reported a value in 2023 and 42 of those were above zero. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 67 countries for 2022-2023 and 56 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 decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
Which country has the highest non-mammal offal supply per person?
Grenada ranked first in 2023 at 1.78 grams per person per day, ahead of Barbados and Bahrain, although China holds by far the largest total volume.
Why does China rank first by total supply?
China recorded 3,179 tonnes, the largest listed national total in the dataset, though a large reported supply is not the same as actual consumption by individuals.
Why did Saudi Arabia's reported supply fall to zero?
The FAO table records zero in 2023 after 9,508 tonnes in 2022, and the figures alone do not explain the change, so the underlying record should be checked before drawing conclusions.
Does this dataset show actual offal consumption?
No. It measures food available for human consumption, which is different from the amount people actually eat, so the numbers should not be read as direct intake records.
What does excluding mammals mean in this category?
It identifies a category that excludes mammalian offals in the FAOSTAT records, while the n.e.c. label means not elsewhere classified, referring to the statistical classification used by FAO.
Data Disclaimer: Projected data (future years) are estimates based on mathematical models. Actual values may differ. Learn about our methodology →
