Other Meat of Mammals, Fresh or Chilled Consumption by Country

China had the largest reported food supply of other mammal meat, fresh or chilled, in 2023, at 493,252 tonnes, or about 47.3 percent of the listed total. India ranked second at 194,768 tonnes, followed by DR Congo at 79,251 tonnes. Timor-Leste ranked first per person at 34.33 grams a day, ahead of Iceland at 23.75 grams. The listed 2023 total was 1,043,336 tonnes across 35 reporting countries, all with a 2023 value. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Ghana placed fourth by volume at 43,266 tonnes, and the three leading countries together accounted for about 73.5 percent of the listed 2023 total, with China alone supplying roughly 47.3 percent of it.

• India recorded the largest decline by tonnage in the latest year.
• Norway lost about an eighth of its 2022 level.
• DR Congo added 1,070 tonnes, up 1.4 percent.
• China added the most in volume.

India Records the Largest Recent Decline

India lost 2,355 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 1.2 percent. Norway lost 218 tonnes, down 12.1 percent, to 1,579 tonnes, and Timor-Leste shed 95 tonnes, down 0.5 percent. China added 2,308 tonnes, up 0.5 percent, DR Congo added 1,070 tonnes, up 1.4 percent, and Ivory Coast added 913 tonnes, up 2.9 percent. The countries present in both years rose from 1,040,297 tonnes to 1,043,336 tonnes, up 3,039 tonnes, or 0.3 percent, and every reporting country appears in both years.

China Leads the Five-Year Increase

Between 2019 and 2023, the 33 countries with a value in both years rose from 974,993 tonnes to 1,020,156 tonnes, up 45,163 tonnes, or 4.6 percent. China recorded the largest increase, adding 29,880 tonnes, up 6.4 percent. India added 3,916 tonnes, up 2.1 percent, and Ivory Coast added 3,576 tonnes, up 12.4 percent. Timor-Leste recorded the largest decline, losing 1,435 tonnes, down 7.6 percent, while Norway shed 330 tonnes and the United Kingdom gave up 157 tonnes. The Maldives and Vietnam report 2023 values but no 2019 value, while no country with a 2019 value dropped out of the comparison.

Timor-Leste Leads Per-Person Supply

Timor-Leste recorded 34.33 grams a day in 2023, ahead of Iceland at 23.75 grams in second and Ghana at 3.51 grams in third. Grenada sat fourth at 2.99 grams. China, first by volume, ranked thirteenth per person at 0.95 grams, so the two rankings point to different countries here.

What the Other Mammal Meat Data Measures

Other meat of mammals, fresh or chilled, available for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country over 2019-2023. All country rows have a 2023 value, so annual totals sum complete rows. Total tonnage and the per-person measure describe different aspects of the same recorded supply, and neither one shows how much people actually ate.

This table contains no reported zero and no blank cell, so every comparison uses complete rows and there is no gap to treat as 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 other meat of mammals, fresh or chilled, over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum country records with reported values, excluding regional and aggregate records, and here all 35 country rows carry a 2023 value. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 35 countries for 2022-2023 and 33 for 2019-2023, and the country count and both totals come from that shared set. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value 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.
