Cambodia Ranks First in 2023 Reported Supply

Cambodia went from zero to 17,621 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, landing first with no percentage stated. Kuwait added 2,223 tonnes, up 280.8 percent. Poland added 1,456 tonnes, up 92.0 percent. Jordan added 1,142 tonnes, up 21.4 percent. Saudi Arabia lost 11,087 tonnes, down 45.3 percent. Oman went from 2,903 tonnes in 2022 to a reported zero in 2023. Qatar shed 2,131 tonnes, down 47.5 percent. Ghana went from 1,398 tonnes to a reported zero. The 52 countries present in both years rose from 94,308 tonnes to 100,152 tonnes, up 5,844 tonnes, or 6.2 percent, with one departure holding 6 tonnes and four arrivals with 730.

Poland Records the Largest Five-Year Decline

Between 2019 and 2023, the 40 countries present in both years fell from 99,603 tonnes to 81,498 tonnes, down 18,105 tonnes, or 18.2 percent. Poland lost 24,947 tonnes, down 89.1 percent. Oman went from 4,746 tonnes in 2019 to a reported zero in 2023. The United States added 7,312 tonnes, up 135.2 percent. Mongolia added 4,310 tonnes, up 77.2 percent. Myanmar added 4,158 tonnes, up 593.1 percent. Saudi Arabia lost 4,244 tonnes, down 24.1 percent. Iraq shed 2,137 tonnes, down 85.5 percent. Kuwait added 2,101 tonnes, up 229.8 percent. Four countries left with 2,391 tonnes, against 16 arrivals with 19,383.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Leads per Person

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines' 17.06 grams a day more than doubled Mongolia's 7.90 in second. Bahrain sat third at 3.05 grams, with Cambodia at 2.77 and Qatar at 2.17. Trinidad and Tobago, Kuwait, Jordan, Canada and Saudi Arabia followed below two grams. Cambodia, first by volume, placed fourth per person. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ranked first per person despite placing well below Cambodia by total volume.

What the Beef and Veal Sausage-Product Data Covers

Sausages and similar products of beef, veal, offal or blood, for human consumption, are tracked in tonnes and daily grams per person for each reporting country over 2019-2023. Annual totals sum reporting countries only. Cambodia's reported supply rose from zero in 2022 to first place in 2023.

Ghana fell to a reported zero in 2023 from 1,398 tonnes in 2022, and Oman from 2,903 tonnes; those zeros merit checking against the source. Poland fell 89.1 percent across five years after sharp mid-period swings, so that move should also be checked before being read as a steady trend. Myanmar's 593.1 percent five-year rate divides by 701 tonnes.

Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts log tonnage for human consumption as element 5141 and daily grams per person as element 665, shown for beef and veal sausages across 2019-2023. Percentages hinge on the earlier year, and zero bases earn no percentage. The dataset numbers 62 countries after aggregates are taken away, 56 with 2023 values. Only countries with values at both endpoints enter comparisons. The 2023 listed total of 100,881 tonnes is the sum of the 56 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 values keep two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which country ranked first per person?

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines led the 2023 per-capita table at 17.06 grams per person per day, ahead of Mongolia at 7.90 grams in the same table.

How much of the listed total came from Cambodia?

Cambodia accounted for approximately 17.5 percent of the 2023 listed total, with 17,621 tonnes compared with Canada's 16,937 tonnes in the same table that year.

Why should Oman's 2023 figure be checked?

Oman's reported supply fell from 2,903 tonnes in 2022 to zero in 2023. The source should be checked to establish whether this reflects a genuine change or a reporting issue.

Is this what people actually ate?

No. The figures measure food available for human consumption in the reference year, not actual intake, so they describe supply rather than the amounts people actually ate.

How did Cambodia reach first place?

Cambodia reported zero in 2022 before reaching first place in 2023. Because the earlier value was zero, no percentage change is stated for that move.
