The United States had the highest reported pig butcher fat food supply in 2023, at 236,055 tonnes, accounting for 40.9 percent of the annual listed total. Canada ranked first per person. These figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.

Chile placed fourth by volume at 23,275 tonnes, and the three leading countries together accounted for about 85.5 percent of the listed 2023 total, with the United States alone supplying roughly 40.9 percent.

• Australia recorded the largest decline by tonnage in the latest year.
• Chile added 3,963 tonnes, up 20.5 percent.
• Brazil added 10,078 tonnes, up 7.4 percent.

Australia Records the Largest Annual Decline

Australia lost 7,907 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, down 86.6 percent to 1,227 tonnes. Bulgaria lost 742 tonnes, down 4.1 percent, and Czechia shed 315 tonnes, down 6.3 percent. Chile added 3,963 tonnes, up 20.5 percent, Brazil added 10,078 tonnes, up 7.4 percent, and the United States added 34,746 tonnes, up 17.3 percent. The 14 countries with a value in both years rose from 531,777 tonnes to 577,354 tonnes, up 45,577 tonnes, or 8.6 percent, with Switzerland joining the comparison and none leaving.

The United States Records the Largest Five-Year Increase

Between 2019 and 2023, the 14 countries with a value in both years rose from 271,177 tonnes to 577,354 tonnes, up 306,177 tonnes, or 112.9 percent. The United States recorded the largest increase, rising from a reported zero in 2019, so no percentage is calculated for that country. Brazil added 44,320 tonnes, up 43.6 percent, and Canada added 10,033 tonnes, up 9.8 percent. Czechia recorded the largest decline, losing 942 tonnes, down 16.7 percent, while Estonia shed 200.40 tonnes. Switzerland reported 527.30 tonnes in 2023 with no 2019 value, so it sits outside this comparison.

Canada Leads Pig Butcher Fat Supply per Person

Canada recorded 7.82 grams a day in 2023, ahead of Bulgaria at 7.00 grams in second and Chile at 3.24 grams in third. Slovakia sat fourth at 3.05 grams, with Venezuela at 1.96 grams and Brazil at 1.89 grams. The United States, first by volume, ranked seventh per person at 1.88 grams, so the two rankings point to different countries here.

What the Pig Butcher Fat Data Measures

Pig butcher fat available for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and in grams per person per day for each reporting country over 2019-2023. 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.

Estonia reported zero in 2020 between 490.21 tonnes in 2019 and 374.49 tonnes in 2022, so that break warrants a source check before any interpretation. A reported zero is a recorded value and a blank cell is missing data, and neither one on its own shows that availability stopped.

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 pig butcher fat, over 2019-2023. Of the 15 country rows, all reported a value in 2023. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, which gives 14 countries in both windows, 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.
