04Caveats

Read before you use

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

How values are stored
  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from FAO’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method. It can differ from what was first published for 2023.

  • 151 distinct values among 155

    Values are stored exactly as published. 2 countries share 3,542. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • The position is ours

    FAO publishes values only; the order is this site’s.

  • 155 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
