04Caveats

Read before you use

What this edition’s numbers are and are not, worked out from the file itself.

The site’s method

One year of the 2025 release
Every year in this series comes from FAO’s 2025 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2012.
152 distinct values among 191
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 5 countries share 0.83. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
FAO publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.
Which end is better
A higher value is the worse result.
1 empty cell
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
