Poultry Meat Preparations Consumption by Country
The United Kingdom recorded the largest listed supply of poultry meat preparations in 2023, at 410,814 tonnes, or about 23.9 percent of the reported total. Brazil ranked second at 131,046 tonnes, followed by Ireland at 122,963 tonnes. On a per-person basis, Ireland led at 64.83 grams a day. The listed 2023 total was 1,719,769 tonnes, and 173 of the 174 country rows reported a value for that year. The figures come from FAO Supply Utilization Accounts for 2019-2023 and describe food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually ate.
The United Kingdom, Brazil and Ireland together accounted for about 38.7 percent of the listed 2023 total. The two rankings answer different questions: total tonnage shows the scale of the recorded national supply, while grams per person per day gives a population-adjusted comparison. Poland recorded the largest listed decline by volume from 2022 to 2023, falling by 26,566 tonnes to 83,402 tonnes, a decrease of 24.2 percent. The Netherlands fell from 13,360 tonnes to a reported zero, and Saudi Arabia shed 13,332 tonnes, or 45.2 percent. Ireland added 31,149 tonnes, or 33.9 percent, and Venezuela rose by 23,305 tonnes, or 280.1 percent. The United States rose from 57.60 tonnes to 103,738 tonnes, an unusually large change that the table itself cannot explain. All 173 countries with a 2022 value also reported a 2023 value, so that shared set rose from 1,569,775 tonnes to 1,719,769 tonnes, up 149,994 tonnes, or 9.6 percent, with no entries or exits. Between 2019 and 2023, the 171 countries with a value in both years rose from 1,441,031 tonnes by 278,738 tonnes, or 19.3 percent. Ireland added 51,620 tonnes, and the United Kingdom added 71,752 tonnes. The United States rose from 17.54 tonnes to 103,738 tonnes, a large change from a very small starting value. Poland lost 73,181 tonnes, Thailand 39,482 tonnes and Hong Kong 21,951 tonnes. Cuba reported 4,796 tonnes in 2019 and nothing afterwards, so it sits outside this comparison and its later blanks are missing data rather than zero supply. Algeria and Iran, blank in 2019 and reported zero in 2023, also fall outside the five-year set. Ireland recorded the highest listed supply per person in 2023, at 64.83 grams a day. Malta ranked second at 20.98 grams, followed by Tuvalu at 18.91 grams. Hong Kong placed fourth at 17.17 grams, ahead of the United Kingdom at 16.39 grams and Luxembourg at 12.82 grams. Ireland also ranked third by total tonnage, making it a high-ranked country on both measures, although the per-person gap over the next country is much wider than the gap between national totals. The dataset records poultry meat preparations available for human consumption, expressed in tonnes and in grams per person per day over 2019-2023. Total tonnage and the per-person measure describe different aspects of the same reported supply, and neither one shows how much people actually ate. The Netherlands reported a fall from 13,360 tonnes to zero, and several other countries ended 2023 at a reported zero, including the United Arab Emirates and the Marshall Islands. Such movements deserve care: a reported zero is a recorded value, while a blank cell is missing data, and neither a zero nor a very large year-to-year change explains on its own what happened in a country. The source is FAOSTAT Supply Utilization Accounts. Element 5141 reports food supply quantity in tonnes and element 665 reports it in grams per capita per day, for poultry meat preparations over 2019-2023. The 2023 listed total sums the 173 country rows that reported a value for that year. Comparisons between two years use only countries with values at both endpoints, and both the country count and the two 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, and values under 1,000 tonnes are shown to two decimals.

Methodology
Frequently Asked Questions
How much poultry meat preparations supply did the United Kingdom record in 2023?
The United Kingdom recorded 410,814 tonnes, roughly 23.9 percent of the listed total and the highest national figure reported for that year in the table.
Which country ranked first per person in 2023?
Ireland led at 64.83 grams per person per day, ahead of Malta at 20.98 grams, with Tuvalu third at 18.91 grams on the same per-person measure.
Which country recorded the largest recent decline by volume?
The listed supply in Poland fell by 26,566 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, reaching 83,402 tonnes, the largest drop by volume among reporting countries in the latest year.
Why does the United States show such a large increase in 2023?
The listed figure rose from 57.60 tonnes in 2022 to 103,738 tonnes in 2023. The table records the size of that change but not its cause, so the source value deserves a check.
Does a reported zero mean no poultry preparations were available?
Not necessarily. A reported zero remains a recorded value and does not by itself prove that supply stopped. A blank cell is a different case, as it indicates missing data.
