Methodology

For juice of lemon, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The United States leads by volume, while Uruguay leads on a per-person basis. The file holds 91 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows; 77 carry 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption. Source: FAO FAOSTAT, compiled by StatsGeo.
