Methodology

The gap between the three leading countries is also clear: the United States was 52,997 tonnes behind the United Kingdom and 117,570 tonnes behind the Netherlands. Yearly reporter totals sum FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for item Sweet potatoes, import quantity and import value, 2020-2024. For sweet 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. In the sweet potatoes imports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For sweet 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

How did the United States reach third place?

The United States reported 11,650 tonnes for 2020 and 89,876 tonnes for 2024, an increase of 78,226 tonnes (up 671.5 percent), the largest absolute gain in the table. The rate reflects the modest starting base and belongs beside the absolute gain, not instead of it.

Why is Laos absent from the 2024 ranking?

Laos reported 85,876 tonnes for 2020 and 105.20 tonnes for 2023, with no reported quantity for 2024. A blank cell means not reported rather than zero.

How should Bolivia's 86.4 percent fall be read?

Bolivia fell from 3,863 tonnes in 2020 to 527.18 tonnes in 2024, a loss of 3,335.82 tonnes. Both endpoint quantities are reported for this sweet potatoes comparison, so the change is included; the dataset does not assign a cause.

What does this sweet potatoes imports series not show?

This dataset does not cover production, stocks, domestic use, or processing; it records reporter-level import quantities and values, so its comparisons stay on the import side.
