Average daily meat consumption per person, measured in grams per person per day.

This is alist of countries by meat consumption. Meat is animaltissue, oftenmuscle, that is eaten as food.^[1]

Accuracy

[edit]

The figures tabulated below do not representper capita amounts of meat eaten by humans. Instead, they representFAO figures for carcass mass availability (with "carcass mass" for poultry estimated as ready-to-cook mass),^[2] divided by population. The amount eaten by humans differs from carcass mass availability because the latter does not account for losses, which include bones, losses in retail and food service or home preparation (including trim and cooking), spoilage and "downstream" waste, and amounts consumed by pets (comparedressed weight).^[3]^[4]^[5] As an example of the difference, for 2002, when the FAO figure for US per capita meat consumption was 124.48 kg (274 lb 7 oz), theUSDA estimate of US per capita loss-adjusted meat consumption was 62.6 kg (138 lb).^[6]

Additionally, the 2002 FAO study was potentially misleading for countries with high levels of meat export compared to their population, as it relied on production data using full carcass mass availability, whereas exports generally contain less bones, cartilage and other things not typically used for human consumption. For example, the FAO (2002) figure forDenmark, which has one of the highest meat export rates compared to its population, was 145.9 kg (322 lb) (highest in the world). More recent FAO figures (2009) have taken the earlier discrepancy into account, resulting in a significantly lower 95.2 kg (210 lb) for Denmark (13th in the world).^[7]^[8] When further adjusted for loss, calculations byDTU Fødevareinstituttet suggest the actual consumption was 48 kg (106 lb) per adult.^[8]

Meat consumption per capita refers to the total meat retained for use in country per person per year. Total meat includes meat from animals slaughtered in countries, irrespective of their origin, and comprises horsemeat, poultry, and meat from all other domestic or wild animals such as camels, rabbits, reindeer, and game animals
Per capita (person) calculations were conducted by WRI using FAO data on meat production and trade, and using U.N. data on population. Meat consumption was calculated using a trade balance approach - total production plus imports, minus exports.
