Methodology

Percentage changes use the corresponding value in the earlier year as the base. Yearly totals sum FAO Crops and Livestock Products stocks quantity (Element 5112) for item Turkeys, 2020-2024. For turkeys stocks, quantities are shown as whole head. The 2024 turkeys stocks ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities. In the turkeys stocks data, zero means a reported nil or negligible stock; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. For turkeys stocks changes, only countries with quantities in both endpoint years enter the arithmetic. Stocks record the standing flock, not a production flow.
