Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products stocks quantity (Element 5112) for item Poultry Birds, 2020-2024. For poultry birds stocks, quantities are reported in 1,000-head units and are shown as whole units; values are never multiplied back into single head. The 2024 poultry birds stocks ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the poultry birds stocks data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For poultry birds stocks changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Stocks record the standing flock, not a production flow. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
