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 performance of the Philippines’ meat industry and the challenges faced in maintaining consistent domestic production levels.
During the initial period from 2015 to 2018, the Philippines experienced a gradual decline in meat production per capita. Production decreased from 32.06 kilograms in 2015 to 30.31 kilograms in 2018, reflecting pressures on livestock production, changing market conditions, and limitations affecting agricultural productivity. In 2019, production remained relatively stable at 30.40 kilograms, indicating a temporary stabilization within the sector.
Between 2020 and 2022, meat production per capita experienced a significant decline. Production decreased from 28.04 kilograms in 2020 to 24.65 kilograms in 2021 before slightly recovering to 25.52 kilograms in 2022. This period was influenced by supply chain disruptions, livestock production challenges, and industry difficulties that affected meat availability and output levels.
A gradual recovery was observed in 2023 and 2024. Meat production per capita increased from 26.20 kilograms in 2023 to 28.21 kilograms in 2024, indicating improving production conditions and recovery efforts within the livestock sector. However, production remained below the levels recorded during the beginning of the analyzed period.
Overall, the Philippines’ meat production per capita trends reflect the importance of strengthening livestock production systems, improving farm productivity, and addressing challenges affecting domestic meat supply. The indicator provides valuable insights into agricultural performance, production efficiency, and the long-term development potential of the Philippines’ meat industry. Continued investment in livestock management and sustainable farming practices remains important for supporting future production growth.
