Methodology

FAO Supply Utilization Accounts mark tonnage for human consumption with element 5141 and daily grams per person with element 665, shown for cranberries over 2019-2023. Percentages divide by the earlier year, and nothing is stated from a zero base. Sixty-six countries form the universe without aggregates, 60 with 2023 values. Comparisons accept only countries valued at both endpoints. The 2023 listed total of 632,023 tonnes is the sum of the 60 countries with a 2023 value. A reported zero is kept, a blank is missing, and under-1,000 entries carry two decimals.

Frequently Asked Questions
