Vegetable Supply per Person
14 years, 2010–2023 · 174 countries
This is how many kilograms of vegetables a country's food supply holds per person each year, from FAO's food balance sheets — everything produced and imported, less exports, animal feed, seed, losses and other uses. It is the standard way to compare how much of a food group is available to eat across countries.
This site holds every year from 2010 to 2023, read from FAO’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision
The headline is stored to 2 decimals, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
FAOSTAT's Food Balances domain, read from FAO's own bulk download. FAO publishes vegetables and fruit separately, so they are two statistics here rather than a total this site would have to add up.
