About the data
Countries and territories are grouped into six continents by their ISO country code. Turkey, Cyprus, Kazakhstan and the Caucasus are counted in Asia, the whole of Russia in Europe, Egypt in Africa, and Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and Greenland in North and Central America. Continental totals and shares are sums of the country figures reported to FAO for 2024, calculated by Husfarm; FAO’s own regional aggregates can differ slightly because of rounding and estimates for non-reporting countries.
