Data notes & caveats

FAO identifies the 2022 figures as the latest complete four-component global frame in the supplied report. Component shares use the 185.4 million-tonne sum of the published values.

Methodology

Each published component was divided by the 185.4 million-tonne total, and the four shares were retained with the source tonnage beside each segment.

Source consistency notes

All four components come from the same FAO report, the same year and the same million-tonne unit.
