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