Data notes & caveats

Values measure per-person daily fat availability from starchy roots, not household intake or total national supply volume. Shares are omitted because no comparable total is used. The source frame is described as nations because it can include territories or special reporting areas.

Methodology

The ranking uses FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets nation records for starchy roots, fat supply in grams per person per day, and 2023. Aggregate reporting groups are excluded where they appear. Values are ordered from highest to lowest and rounded consistently for publication.

Source consistency notes

All entries use the same FAOSTAT Food Balance Sheets source family, starchy roots scope, fat-supply measure, unit and 2023 period, supporting a like-for-like nation ranking.
