Buffalo Skim Milk Supply by Country
In 2023, India recorded the largest reported food supply of buffalo skim milk, at 52,546,849 tonnes, representing 71.2 percent of the 73,815,694-tonne total across six countries. Pakistan ranked second with 20,727,149 tonnes, followed by Nepal at 392,412 tonnes. Pakistan had the highest per-capita supply, at 229.44 grams per person per day. These FAO figures measure food available for human consumption, not the amount people actually drank.
China ranked fourth with 110,769 tonnes, followed by Türkiye at 19,416 tonnes and Iraq at 19,099 tonnes. India and Pakistan together accounted for 99.3 percent of the reported total, while the top three countries represented 99.8 percent. The figures show how heavily the total is concentrated in the two largest reporting countries. Nepal's reported buffalo skim milk supply fell by 29,948 tonnes between 2022 and 2023, a decrease of 7.1 percent. Türkiye declined by 254 tonnes, or 1.3 percent. In contrast, India added 682,527 tonnes, Pakistan increased by 598,712 tonnes, China rose by 2,496 tonnes, and Iraq added 1,169 tonnes. Across the six countries, combined supply increased from 72,560,992 to 73,815,694 tonnes, a rise of 1,254,702 tonnes, or 1.7 percent. The reporting-country group was unchanged between the two years. Across the six countries with reported values in both 2019 and 2023, total buffalo skim milk supply increased from 67,754,204 to 73,815,694 tonnes, a gain of 6,061,490 tonnes, or 8.9 percent. India added 4,751,541 tonnes, while Pakistan increased by 1,321,644 tonnes. China and Iraq also recorded gains of 11,817 and 3,118 tonnes, respectively. Türkiye's supply fell by 16,384 tonnes, or 45.8 percent, while Nepal declined by 10,246 tonnes, or 2.5 percent. India and Pakistan accounted for most of the overall increase. Pakistan recorded the highest per-capita buffalo skim milk supply in 2023, at 229.44 grams per person per day. India ranked second at 100.11 grams, followed by Nepal at 36.21 grams. Iraq recorded 1.35 grams, Türkiye 0.61 grams and China 0.21 grams. India led by total tonnage, but Pakistan ranked first per person. The dataset reports buffalo skim milk food supply in tonnes and grams per person per day for six countries over 2019-2023. Total tonnage measures the reported quantity available for human consumption, while the per-capita indicator adjusts supply for population size. Neither measure confirms how much people actually drank. In 2023, India accounted for 71.2 percent of the reported total, while Pakistan had the highest per-capita figure. FAO Supply Utilization Accounts provide food-supply figures for buffalo skim milk in tonnes (element 5141) and grams per person per day (element 665) for 2019-2023. Percentage changes use the earlier year's value as the base; percentage changes are not calculated when the base value is zero. After aggregate rows are excluded, the dataset covers six countries, all with reported values for 2023. Year-to-year and five-year comparisons use countries with reported values at both endpoints. The 2023 total is the sum of all six reporting countries. Reported zeroes are retained, blanks are treated as missing, and values below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimal places.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which country had the largest buffalo skim milk supply in 2023?
India ranked first with 52,546,849 tonnes in 2023, accounting for 71.2 percent of the reported total across the six reporting countries in the same table that year.
Why does Pakistan rank first per person but second by total volume?
Pakistan's reported supply was lower than India's in total tonnage, but its per-capita figure was higher at 229.44 grams per person per day, compared with India's 100.11 grams.
What percentage of reported supply came from India and Pakistan combined?
India and Pakistan combined accounted for approximately 99.3 percent of the six-country reported country total in 2023 in the same listed table that year overall.
How did buffalo skim milk supply change between 2019 and 2023?
Combined reported supply total across the six reporting countries rose by 6,061,490 tonnes, or 8.9 percent, from 67,754,204 tonnes over the five-year comparison period.
Do these figures show how much buffalo skim milk people actually drank?
No. FAO food-supply figures measure reported total food available for human consumption, not confirmed individual intake in any listed reporting country in the reference year.
