Bangladesh’s per capita protein consumption soars

[Bilal9]

Lived my entire life like a "Bedouin", to old and tired now,of shoveling snow from the driveway,deicing the car windshields every morning,vacuuming the entire house, Gardening,my favourite passion, I used to hate ironing clothes,cooking,plumbing, routine minor electrical chores,servicing and washing of my private car every weekend, etc,etc.

The worst was Globe trotting, packing the entire household routinely after 3-4 years and unpacking them from the Containers and re setting them in a new country.
Enjoy your youthful days while you can. Salam.

Bhai raising a family is noble work - I'm sure your family appreciates it. Passing on the baton like we all have to...

Life in the West can be tough - but there are fringe benefits. In any case we can discuss further in our Adda section.

But my invite still stands Insha-Allah anytime you want to fly down this way.

InshaAllah,if I visit the USA, I definitely will inform you ahead of time.However my siblings are undertaking their higher education in Europe, chances are slim.
Wish I knew you earlier,could have visited your place during my earlier official visits.
Thanks a million for extending your kind and noble invitation.Salam.

From business insider, meat included poultry, beef and sheep meats. Not included fish

For Bangladesh this chart is very much outdated.According to this chart average meat consumption in BD is 7.16 lb or 3.2 kg/person/year or 540,000 ton for entire country.This is pure bullshit.In Eid-ul-Azha alone we sacrifice 10.5 million cows and many million goats which provide 50% of our cattle meat consumption in a year.Do you think, 10.5 million cow and other several million goat and 6 months worth of poultry only weight 270,000 ton? I don't know in which year Business insider got their data for Bangladesh.But it is nowhere near the current picture.Read this two article.

Whooo BBS statistics!

Comeback when you have BBS statistics for 2010, so we can figure out whats really going on:

http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3107e/i3107e03.pdf

Our per capita fish consumption is 20 kg/year and meat of all variety is another 10 kg/year(calculated from this report). So our total meat consumption is 30 kg/year.Not that bad for a lower middle income country.In the developed countries, total meat consumption is about 100 kg/year average.

Pulses , mainly red lentil, a significant source of Protein is consumed daily all over BD.

10.5 million cows mean at least (10.5 million x 150kg meat per cow)/1000 = 1,575,000 ton>>>540,000 ton cited by the newspaper guys. Apart from cows, which is expensive for even the very lower middle class people like me, we consume more quantity of egg, chicken, duck and goat. Even the very poor can afford to consume these every now and then. The total consumption should be at least 4,000,000 ton or 25kg per person per year. The journo guys are good at writing gossips, but are weak in math.

Sorry no one cares about BD claims. FAO puts the better data always. They using sat pictures for herd size determination nowadays. BD can say it has 10 million of something when its 10 times less all it wants to. No one else takes it seriously.

India is a big country and has a big mouth. So, FAO does not interfere with its data. FAO does not follow this to BD. Why it is that the BD people are healthier only after Pakistani people in the neighborhood, and why Indians are stunted? Indians' only source of protein is pulse and lentils, which we equally consume. But, we are also meat eaters and there are thousands of poultry farms in the countryside that supply the market with egg and chicken.

Where is the FAO when we consume a lot of beef during Eid that alarmed the India so much that it stopped the illegal cow export. India wants an unhealthy and stunted BD people. We do not take seriously what the physically and mentally stunted Indians say about our food and health. We have already established a large herd of cows because of this Indian interference. It has become a blessing and our protein consumption from our own source will rise every year.

The point is the satellite analysis gives proper evidence (for FAO). Check FAOSTAT yourself regarding meat production for BD if you want. BD BBS and govt obviously do not follow the same standards as FAO (they just make up numbers with loosest standards and definitions to get biggest possible number and hope ppl believe it, no matter the actual reality).

If you think with say 20 million herd stock, you can slaughter 10 million+ in one year and still have 20 million the next year, as though calves are reared to full size in under a year (and bred at 50% rate of base in first place through some magical BD animal husbandry), well what can I say? It shows why BD outputs the basic science per capita at the level it does. @Śakra After all you can simply look at any established producer of meat and see what their yearly production/total herd ratios are...its pretty well known ratio, certainly nowhere near 50% (which would probably destroy the herd in under a cpl years)...that too you are claiming 50% all on just eid, thus implying actual ratio much higher. Comparison wise, USA which has immense inputs per animal and feedlots pretty much the size of entire Bangladesh sometimes...has around 30% processed/herd ratio. World average is about half of that (especially when you have really high population density and much less economical feedlot operations like say in Europe and Asia). Yet Bangladesh with probably the higest population density of any 30+ million population has 50%+ realisation of herd processing each year in just a few days of that year....yeah ok. I understand now why so many source data spreadsheet compilation put an asterisk next to Bangladesh claimed data saying "pending re-analysis".

Protein consumption in BD done on consumption survey basis is quite low compared to region . Meat production in India for year 2010 (last vetted and standardised data by FAO internationally - http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3107e/i3107e03.pdf) is already 10 times larger than that of Bangladesh on a population 7 times the size. The next data point release for 2020 will only increase the disparity between the two going by what FAO has since logged.

Basically you are about 10 years behind us on animal protein supply per capita and about 30 years behind us on total protein supply per capita when properly vetted and credible statistics are used given availability of such. If the same is done for hunger index, Bangladesh probably ends up way worse than Niger and Chad...but in that index there is little option beyond BBS claims (and North Korean claims etc) for the cherry picked sub components.

These massive shortfalls and dissonances of course will be covered up by the inept and corrupt BD govt, ranked close to north korea in corruption/opaqueness than anywhere else in the region. Who knows its transparency and accounting procedures for measuring herd throughput and processed herds? Probably picks whichever one gives the biggest number (i.e probably say some form of market transaction volume rather than actual animal one to one accounting....and if you don't know why thats significant, well it explains why you lot buy the BBS hoax numbers in first place).

The UN continues to have this to say about your "premier" statistics agency after all:

BBS has limited capacity to produce many of these statistics in accordance with relevant international standards and good practices.
