What the Data Shows
Sesame seed production is ranked by nation for 2024, using production volume in million tonnes as the comparison frame. The data structure is a 6-row raw leaderboard with no percentage or share denominator. India ranks first at 0.87M tonnes, followed by Myanmar at 0.72M tonnes. The graphic uses only raw production volumes, with gap and rank-multiple comparisons for context.

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.
