Methodology

Residual categories demand exact denominators: "n.e.c." (not elsewhere classified) gathers every cereal outside the named items, so all shares here divide the 2024 listed quantity total of 254,492 tonnes across 67 reporters. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Cereals n.e.c., export quantity and export value, 2020-2024. For cereals n.e.c. exports, 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. In the cereals n.e.c. exports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For cereals n.e.c. exports 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 export entry and its mirror import may disagree.

Frequently Asked Questions

How did Romania pass Sweden?

Romania grew from 9,188 tonnes in 2020 to 50,576 tonnes in 2024 (+41,388 tonnes, up 450.5 percent) while Sweden fell from 52,956 to 30,205 tonnes (down 43.0 percent). Both trajectories use reported quantities from both endpoint years; the table attributes no causes.

Why does the United States lead on value from eighth place?

The United States reported 6,849 tonnes (eighth) and 25,545,000 US dollars (first) for 2024. Dividing each country's own value by its own quantity for the same year produces the gap; the dataset observes reported values, not prices.

What does Denmark's 25.82 tonnes mean?

Denmark fell from 14,080 tonnes in 2023 to 25.82 tonnes in 2024 (down 99.8 percent). Both endpoint values are reported in the cereals n.e.c. series, indicating near-zero trade rather than a missing cell.

What does this cereals n.e.c. exports dataset not cover?

Whether cereal output rose or fell, who consumed it, or what it cost to produce; none of that is in this dataset. It records export quantities and values by reporter, so only export-side comparisons hold.
