Methodology

For string beans, tonnage follows element 5141 and daily grams follow element 665 across 2019 to 2023. A change is measured from the earlier year; none is stated from a zero base. Only countries present in both compared years enter a change. A reported zero is not a blank, and blanks never stand in for zeros. The file holds 19 countries after removing World, regional and aggregate rows, all with 2023 values. The numbers describe food available for human consumption.
