Brazil and Colombia buy in South America, Belgium, Spain and Italy in Europe, Saudi Arabia in the Middle East, and the United States and Mexico in North America.

Methodology

Contribution arithmetic gets its own sentence in this table because the leader moves faster than the total: Mexico's gain exceeded the net, so the text reports 127 percent with the offsetting declines named beside it. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Canary seed, import quantity and import value, 2020-2024. For canary seed imports, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes; values remain full current US dollars without inflation adjustment. The 2024 canary seed imports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the canary seed imports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For canary seed imports changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can apply, and unreconciled bilateral pairs mean an import record and its mirror export may disagree.
