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 Roots and Tubers; Total, 2020-2024. For total roots and tubers production, quantities below 1,000 tonnes retain two decimals and larger quantities are shown as whole tonnes. The 2024 total roots and tubers production ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the total roots and tubers production data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For total roots and tubers 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

What makes the top two different from the rest?

China and Nigeria together hold 31.3 percent of the listed 2024 total at 153,174,601 and 141,872,392 tonnes. India, the third reporter, trails Nigeria by 76,252,708 tonnes, so the top two sit well clear of the field.

Where did Nicaragua go in 2024?

Nicaragua reported 390,626 tonnes in 2020 and 400,582 tonnes in 2023, then nothing in 2024. Blank cells mean not reported rather than zero, so Nicaragua sits outside both change universes while shaping the listed totals.

Which smaller reporter grew fastest since 2020?

Pakistan rose from 4,975,596 tonnes in 2020 to 9,081,940 tonnes in 2024, a change of 4,106,344 tonnes (up 82.5 percent). Pakistan reports in both years, so the rise sits inside the change universe on a 4,975,596-tonne base.
