About This Dataset
Meat Consumption by Country 2023
This chart ranks countries by daily meat supply per person in grams in 2023, covering all meat types. The figure measures food available for consumption rather than what is actually eaten, so household waste is included and real intake is somewhat lower. FAO data for 2023 covers 176 countries.
Analysis
Tonga heads the table on 429.9, ahead of Mongolia (373) and Marshall Islands (344.2) in Daily Meat Supply per Person (grams) in 2023. 123.8 separates the highest figure (429.9) from the lowest (306.1). First and second are separated by 56.9, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Places 3 to 10 are close together, spanning 344.2 to 306.1.
