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 2019.
173 distinct values among 175
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 85.18. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Which end is better
Neither end is better. The values describe a shape, not a score.
3 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
