Two growth stories share this table and need different denominators: Uzbekistan's 189.7 percent divides by 450,994 tonnes while Belgium's 34.8 percent divides by 3,024,137. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Potatoes, import quantity and import value, 2020-2024. For potatoes 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 potatoes imports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the potatoes imports data, a zero indicates a reported zero quantity; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For potatoes 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Uzbekistan and Belgium show such different percentages?

Uzbekistan added 855,411 tonnes on a 450,994-tonne base (up 189.7 percent) while Belgium added 1,052,084 tonnes on a 3,024,137-tonne base (up 34.8 percent). Same direction, different denominators. The percentage measures growth relative to the starting point, not the absolute size of the increase.

How should Ukraine's 83.1 percent fall be read?

Ukraine fell from 301,668 tonnes in 2020 to 51,044 tonnes in 2024, a loss of 250,624 tonnes. Both endpoint quantities are reported for this potatoes comparison, so the change is included; the dataset does not assign a cause.

Why did the United Arab Emirates leave the potato import ranking?

The Emirates reported 254,041 tonnes for 2023 and nothing for 2024, the largest of 36 reporters missing that year. A blank cell means not reported rather than zero, so the country leaves the change universe while shaping each-year totals.

What is missing from this potatoes imports picture?

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