01The evidence
The 4 key statistics that decide it
Only these place Grenada on food & agriculture — one vote each. Every value is the publisher’s own, read at the edition the Country Index 2026 used; the grey ticks are every other country it was compared with, lowest on the left.

07Questions
Grenada on food & agriculture: questions answered
Every answer is built from the numbers on this page, so none can say something the page does not.
How does Grenada rank on food & agriculture?
Grenada is placed 93rd of 184 countries on Food & Agriculture in the Country Index 2026, from 3 of its 4 key statistics (Progress Toward Productive and Sustainable Agriculture (SDG 2.4.1 Proxy), Cereal Yield and Agriculture Orientation Index). The position is this site’s ordering of published statistics, not a rank any publisher printed.
What is the latest Progress Toward Productive and Sustainable Agriculture (SDG 2.4.1 Proxy) figure for Grenada?
4.33 in 2024 (current status score, from 1 (worst) to 5 (best), averaged over up to seven sub-indicators), according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The world median in the same edition was 3.14.
What is the latest Cereal Yield figure for Grenada?
998.8 in 2023 (cereal yield (kg per hectare)), according to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The world median in the same edition was 3,072.
How have Grenada’s food & agriculture figures changed?
Progress Toward Productive and Sustainable Agriculture (SDG 2.4.1 Proxy) fell from 4.67 in 2015 to 4.33 in 2024; Cereal Yield fell from 1,003 in 2000 to 998.8 in 2023; Agriculture Orientation Index rose from 0.22 in 2012 to 0.28 in 2024.
Which food & agriculture statistics are missing for Grenada?
No current reading is published for Grenada on Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing Value Added per Worker, Dietary Energy Supply, Employment in Agriculture, Global Report on Food Crises, Legal Guarantees of Women's Equal Rights to Land, Per Capita Food Supply Variability, Prevalence of Undernourishment and Women's Share of Agricultural Landowners. They are listed rather than hidden, so the evidence on the page can be checked against it.
08Method
Method, sources and how to cite
What this topic does not measure
This subject is about production and land use, not about whether people are fed. Hunger, undernourishment and what a population actually eats are measured under Health & Wellbeing, and the two regularly disagree — a country can grow a great deal and still leave many people short, and one that grows little can be well fed by trade. The wider environmental cost of farming — emissions, water withdrawal, forest cover — is filed under Environment & Sustainability.
How the Food & Agriculture standing is decided
A standing is this site’s ordering, named with its edition — never a publisher’s rank. 4 key statistics vote, one vote each; every country’s published value becomes a place within that key’s own field, the places are averaged, and the average is never published. A country needs 2 of the 4 keys to be placed.
