04Caveats

Read before you use

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

The site’s method

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 2011.
157 distinct values among 159
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 8.02. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Which end is better
A higher value is the better result.
2 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
