Methodology

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 goats, 2020-2024. For raw goats milk production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 raw goats milk production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the raw goats milk production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For raw goats milk production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did India fall in 2024 yet rise since 2020?

India fell 469,653 tonnes (down 6.0 percent) between 2023 and 2024 but stands 1,074,033 tonnes (up 17.2 percent) above its 2020 level of 6,261,874 tonnes. India reports in all three endpoint years, so both moves sit inside their change universes.

What happened to countries with missing 2024 data?

Ireland reported zero in 2020 and 2023 but has no 2024 quantity, while Germany reported 16,280 tonnes in 2020 and no quantity afterward. Palestine reported 20,724 tonnes in 2020 and 41,034 tonnes in 2021 before disappearing from the later data. A blank means no quantity was reported, not zero.

How did Bangladesh move in both windows?

Bangladesh added 68,320 tonnes (up 6.9 percent) in 2024 and 305,480 tonnes (up 40.9 percent) since 2020. Bangladesh reports in all three endpoint years, so both gains sit inside their change universes.
