Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products production quantity (Element 5510) for item Kapok fibre; raw, 2019-2023. For raw kapok fibre production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2023 raw kapok fibre production ranking and shares use 2023 listed quantities. In the raw kapok fibre production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For raw kapok fibre production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which reporter grew in both windows?

Indonesia added 120 tonnes (up 0.2 percent) between 2022 and 2023 and 270 tonnes (up 0.5 percent) since 2019. Indonesia reports in all three endpoint years, so both gains sit inside their change universes while Thailand eased in both.

How small are the moves here?

The largest single move in either window is Thailand's 299-tonne fall between 2022 and 2023. Both window totals moved 0.2 percent, so the table is essentially flat across 2019-2023.

Do both reporters appear in every endpoint year?

Yes. Indonesia and Thailand reported in 2019, 2022 and 2023, so the same 2-country reporter universe applies to both change periods.
