## About the data

- Figures are production in tonnes as reported to or estimated by FAO for each calendar year; the latest year is 2023.
- Letters next to a country mark figures that are not official national data: **E** estimated by FAO, **I** imputed by FAO (filled in by a statistical model), **X** taken from an external organisation. Treat them as approximate.
- Shares are relative to the FAO world total; ten-year changes compare 2023 with 2013; average growth per year is the compound annual rate between the two years.
- Country series on Husfarm start in 2000; the world series starts in 1961.
