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 data indicates that meat production per capita increased significantly from 11.65 kilograms in 2015 to 18.04 kilograms in 2024, showing the long-term growth potential of Indonesia’s meat industry. The indicator highlights the country’s efforts to enhance domestic livestock production and support rising consumption requirements.
During the initial period from 2015 to 2018, Indonesia experienced rapid growth in meat production per capita. Production increased from 11.65 kilograms in 2015 to 17.70 kilograms in 2018, supported by improvements in livestock farming, increased investment in agricultural activities, and growing demand for animal-based protein. In 2019, production reached 17.92 kilograms, representing the highest level during the early phase of the analyzed period.
Between 2020 and 2022, meat production per capita experienced some fluctuations due to market disruptions, supply chain challenges, and the impact of broader economic conditions. Production declined from 16.55 kilograms in 2020 to 16.41 kilograms in 2021 before recovering strongly to 18.15 kilograms in 2022. This recovery reflected improvements in livestock production systems and renewed industry activity.
In 2023 and 2024, production remained relatively stable with slight fluctuations. Meat production per capita decreased marginally from 17.74 kilograms in 2023 to 18.04 kilograms in 2024, maintaining levels significantly higher than those recorded at the beginning of period.
Overall, Indonesia’s meat production per capita trends demonstrate steady sectoral development, improving production efficiency, and growing importance of livestock agriculture within the national food system. The indicator provides valuable insights into agricultural performance, domestic supply capacity, and future opportunities for sustainable expansion of Indonesia’s meat industry. Continued investment in livestock management, productivity enhancement, and supply chain improvements will remain important for supporting long-term growth.
