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 2001.

  • 205 distinct values among 206

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 15 decimals. 2 countries share 20.000. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • The position is ours

    FAO publishes values only. The order here sorts the published values, and the page says so wherever it prints one.

  • Which end is better

    Neither end is better. The values describe a shape, not a score.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 206 countries has every column.
