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 Other meat of mammals; fresh or chilled, 2020-2024. For other mammal meat production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 other mammal meat production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the other mammal meat production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For other mammal meat production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
