Largest donkey population countries 2024

LARGEST DONKEY-POPULATION COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD — 2024 Donkeys are an important animal resource for rural transport, agricultural work, water and firewood collection, movement of crops and goods, and household livelihoods—particularly across dryland and smallholder farming communities. TOP 20 COUNTRIES BY DONKEY POPULATION — 2024 1. 🇪🇹 Ethiopia — 10,803,079 2. 🇸🇩 Sudan — 7,677,752 3. 🇵🇰 Pakistan — 5,938,000 4. 🇹🇩 Chad — 5,042,154 5. 🇲🇽 Mexico — 3,293,871 6. 🇳🇪 Niger — 2,110,632 7. 🇧🇫 Burkina Faso — 1,670,785 8. 🇮🇷 Iran — 1,568,474 9. 🇦🇫 Afghanistan — 1,530,569 10. 🇳🇬 Nigeria — 1,344,853 11. 🇨🇳 China — 1,299,000 12. 🇲🇱 Mali — 1,263,440 13. 🇪🇬 Egypt — 1,230,611 14. 🇲🇦 Morocco — 798,054 15. 🇾🇪 Yemen — 717,047 16. 🇿🇼 Zimbabwe — 687,242 17. 🇵🇪 Peru — 650,192 18. 🇧🇴 Bolivia — 635,146 19. 🇸🇳 Senegal — 468,638 20. 🇻🇪 Venezuela — 440,000 🐴 WHY DONKEYS MATTER Donkeys provide affordable draught power and transportation in many rural areas. They can help farmers transport crops, water, fuel and agricultural inputs, while also improving access to markets and services where motorized transport is limited or expensive. Africa has a particularly large donkey population, reflecting the animal's importance in rural economies and agricultural livelihoods. 📊 DATA NOTE These figures represent donkey population/stocks—the estimated number of live donkeys—not annual donkey-meat production. Country statistics can vary in quality and methodology because FAOSTAT relies on national statistics, surveys, administrative information and estimates. Therefore, rankings should be interpreted as reported statistical estimates rather than a perfect census of every donkey.
