Data notes & caveats

No share denominator is applied because this is a raw-value leaderboard. Rows are ranked by raw production volume and the public period is stated in the title and subtitle.

Methodology

Rows are ranked in descending order by production volume. Source values are converted from tonnes to million tonnes for display where needed, and support metrics use the raw first-to-second gap and the first-to-last-row multiple.

Source consistency notes

Rows use a FAOSTAT-cited 2024 article table, with UNdata/FAOSTAT retained as source-family support. Values are treated as a dated source snapshot rather than a live feed.
