Methodology

What "n.e.c." means decides what this table contains: cereals not classified elsewhere within the relevant classification, so comparisons with wheat, rice or maize tables mix different universes and are never made here. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Cereals n.e.c., import quantity and import value, 2020-2024. For cereals n.e.c. 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 cereals n.e.c. imports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the cereals n.e.c. imports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For cereals n.e.c. 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.
