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 1969.

  • 150 distinct values among 184

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 3 decimals. 7 countries share 0. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Which end is better

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

  • 150 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
