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 2024.
113 distinct values among 156
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 7 countries share 0.03. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
The position is ours
FAO publishes values only; the order is this site’s.
13 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
