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 2013.
161 distinct values among 166
Values are stored exactly as published, to 2 decimals. 2 countries share 12.66. Countries sharing a value share a position too.
Which end is better
A higher value is the better result.
3 empty cells
An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
