What the Data Shows
FAOSTAT reports sheep milk production by nation for 2024 in tonnes. The ranking compares nine non-aggregate nation rows from the same FAOSTAT source, with no share column because no external denominator is used. China ranks first at 1.26M tonnes, ahead of Greece at 945,820 tonnes. China’s value is 3.06x the #9 nation, Sudan at 410,963 tonnes, so the page is best read as a production-volume ranking.

Data notes & caveats
Values are annual production volumes in tonnes. Shares are not included because the page uses a ranked nation comparison rather than a separate global total.
Methodology
The ranking uses FAOSTAT nation rows for sheep milk, production volume, tonnes and 2024. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear in the source. Values are ranked from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for display.
Source consistency notes
Rows use the same FAOSTAT Crops and Livestock Products source family, metric, unit and year, supporting a like-for-like ranking across nations.
