Milk production, 2024, tonnes. South Korea is outlined. Same source and period for every area shown. Source: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Boundaries: Natural Earth (public domain).
Raw milk produced in the calendar year from cattle, buffaloes, goats, sheep and camels, in tonnes. FAOSTAT item "Milk; Total", the sum FAO calculates from the raw milk of each species.
All species: in India and Pakistan buffalo milk is a large share, so the figure is well above cow milk alone. FAO fills gaps in national reporting with its own estimates and imputations, which are marked as estimated, and revises past years when countries send new figures.
