Food production index (2014–2016 = 100)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
62 reference years (1961–2022), covering 163 to 195 countries, from FAOSTAT via the World Bank’s indicator API (AG.PRD.FOOD.XD). ⚠ EVERY COUNTRY IS INDEXED AGAINST ITS OWN 2014–2016 AVERAGE, and this is the one thing to understand before reading the table: 200 means twice the food this country grew a decade ago, NOT twice as much food as the country below it. The table therefore compares rates of change, not harvests. ⚠ Only crops and livestock that are edible and carry nutrients are counted — coffee and tea are excluded deliberately, because they feed nobody. Split further by the crop and livestock indices beside it. ⚠ These are not separate published reports — `restatedByReport` names the World Development Indicators release they were pulled from. ⚠ A statistic, not an index: no rank is published, so none is stored, and it is not in the Country Index; the POSITION shown on the statistics page is derived here by ordering the score, and labelled as ours.

How much food a country produces, indexed against its OWN 2014–2016 average — from FAOSTAT, served through the World Bank's indicator API (AG.PRD.FOOD.XD). ⚠ EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN BASELINE, so this compares each country with its past self and NOT with its neighbours. A reading of 200 means twice the food of a decade ago, not twice as much food as the country below it in the table. Covers only crops and livestock that are edible and carry nutrients — coffee and tea are excluded, deliberately. The FAO does not rank countries on it, so no rank is stored and none is derived.
