Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Meat Production per Capita — Meat Production per Capita refers to the annual production of total meat divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of meat produced domestically per individual and provides insights into livestock sector performance, agricultural productivity, production capacity, and food supply trends. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, showing annual changes in per capita meat production over the selected period. The data covers total meat production, including different types of animal-based meat products, expressed on a per-person basis.
The data includes total meat production from livestock and other animal sources, covering major meat categories such as beef, pork, poultry, and other meats included in the overall meat production estimate. The indicator is calculated by dividing total annual meat production by the population of each country, allowing comparison of production levels across countries of different sizes. Our World in Data compiles the data from global food and agricultural datasets, primarily based on information from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and related statistical sources. The indicator reflects domestic production output and provides information on trends in livestock development, agricultural efficiency, and food production capacity.
The data excludes meat consumption, imports, exports, and availability of meat products in domestic markets. It does not represent the actual amount of meat consumed per person, as production levels may differ from consumption due to trade flows, storage, processing, and distribution factors. The indicator also does not measure the economic value of meat production, livestock quality, production costs, or environmental impacts associated with meat production. Differences may occur between countries due to variations in agricultural reporting systems, statistical methodologies, and population estimates used for per capita calculations.
About this indicator
Meat Production per Capita — Meat Production per Capita refers to the annual production of total meat divided by the total population of a country, measured in kilograms per person. The indicator represents the average amount of meat produced domestically per individual and provides insights into livestock sector performance, agricultural productivity, production capacity, and food supply trends. In Our World in Data, the indicator is presented as a country-level time series, showing annual changes in per capita meat production over the selected period. The data covers total meat production, including different types of animal-based meat products, expressed on a per-person basis.
The indicator highlights the development potential of Fiji’s livestock sector and its role in supporting domestic food supply.
During the initial period from 2015 to 2018, Fiji experienced considerable volatility in meat production per capita. Production declined from 32.47 kilograms in 2015 to 21.66 kilograms in 2016 before recovering strongly to 45.67 kilograms in 2018. These fluctuations reflected changes in livestock availability, production conditions, and agricultural sector performance.
Between 2019 and 2022, Fiji’s meat production per capita continued to experience variations. Production decreased from 43.40 kilograms in 2019 to 33.50 kilograms in 2020 before gradually recovering to 34.64 kilograms in 2021. A significant increase occurred in 2022, when production reached 55.77 kilograms, indicating improved livestock output and stronger agricultural recovery.
In 2023 and 2024, meat production per capita remained at elevated levels. Production decreased slightly from 53.26 kilograms in 2023 before increasing further to 58.71 kilograms in 2024, marking the highest level during the analyzed period.
Overall, Fiji’s meat production per capita trends demonstrate strong growth potential despite historical fluctuations. The indicator provides insights into livestock sector development, domestic production capacity, and agricultural resilience. Continued investment in animal husbandry, farming infrastructure, and sustainable livestock practices will be important for strengthening Fiji’s meat industry and improving long-term food security.
