What the Raw Milk of Buffalo Data Covers

Raw buffalo milk for human consumption is recorded in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. The table added nearly a tenth in five years on Indian and Pakistani gains, and edged up lately.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for raw buffalo milk across 2019-2023. Percentages use the earlier year as the base, and zero bases use none. The universe counts 25 countries minus aggregates, 21 with positive 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 23,203,830 tonnes is the sum of the 21 countries with a positive 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.
