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 Raw cane or beet sugar (centrifugal only), 2019-2023. For centrifugal raw sugar production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2023 centrifugal raw sugar production ranking and shares use 2023 listed quantities. In the centrifugal raw sugar production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For centrifugal raw sugar production changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Production quantities are reported to FAO by national statistical sources.
