Kenya stayed the largest raw camel milk producer while adding 91,090 tonnes and accounting for most of the 2024 gain. The figures below reproduce FAO Crops and Livestock Products records for item Raw milk of camel, 2020-2024, reporting production quantity in tonnes. The table lists 29 countries, all of which reported a 2024 quantity, and the 2024 annual listed total is 4,187,669 tonnes. The 2024 country list runs from the largest listed quantity to the smallest.
Kenya and Somalia run nearly level: 1,098,082 tonnes against 999,967, a gap of 98,115 tonnes. The pair holds 50.1 percent of the listed total, with third and fourth at 968,000 and 299,181 tonnes respectively. Kenya was the largest raw camel milk producer in the 2024 listed data with 1,098,082 tonnes, followed by Somalia with 999,967 tonnes and Pakistan with 968,000 tonnes. Mali ranked fourth with 299,181 tonnes. Kenya holds 26.2 percent of the listed 2024 total. The top three together hold 73.2 percent of the 4,187,669-tonne listed total. From 2023 to 2024 the common reporter universe (29 countries with data in both years) moved from 4,076,535 tonnes to 4,187,669 tonnes, a change of 111,134 tonnes (2.7 percent). The totals listed for each year were 4,076,535 tonnes (29 reporters) and 4,187,669 tonnes (29 reporters); no country exited and no new reporter joined. Kenya added 91,090 tonnes (up 9.0 percent), accounting for 82.0 percent of the increase, while Pakistan added 12,000 tonnes (up 1.3 percent) and Mali 5,848 tonnes (up 2.0 percent). Between 2020 and 2024, the common reporter universe (29 countries with data in both years) rose from 4,078,648 tonnes to 4,187,669 tonnes, a change of 109,021 tonnes (2.7 percent). The totals listed for each year were 4,078,648 tonnes (29 reporters) and 4,187,669 tonnes (29 reporters); no reporter present in 2020 is absent in 2024, while no new reporters joined. Pakistan added 48,000 tonnes (up 5.2 percent) and Mali 28,186 tonnes (up 10.4 percent), while Kenya added 23,757 tonnes (up 2.2 percent). 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 Raw milk of camel, 2020-2024. For raw camel milk production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 raw camel milk production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the raw camel milk production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For raw camel milk production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
