    FAOSTAT provides statistics at country, regional and global levels on the production, trade and agricultural use of inorganic fertilizers. This brief provides a summary of the global levels of inorganic fertilizers use in agriculture from 1961 to 2018 and their ratio by area of cropland. It also analyses use levels by region. At the country level, it shows the top producers and top consumers of inorganic fertilizers and their high share of the world total, and briefly looks at the internal heterogeneity of regions in the use of fertilizers among their countries, at both the absolute level and per area of cropland.

    Estimating the food value chain decomposition by industries and primary factors 2024
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This statistics working paper presents an estimation methodology for decomposing food expenditure across the industries and the primary factors of the food value chain (FVC). The approach outlined is based on the Global Food Dollar methodology developed by the Economic Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA-ERS) and Cornell University. FAO has enriched the analytical scope of the methodology by adding the industry and primary factors decomposition. Country coverage has also been increased by adapting the methodology to different data types and sources.

    The Statistics Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) compiles food balance sheet (FBS) statistics for 187 countries, which present a comprehensive picture of the agrifood situation of a country in a specified reference period, showing the pattern of a country's food supply and utilizations. The new release of the 2021 FBS data comprises recompiled time series from 2010 to 2021, using new conversion factors and population estimates.According to the latest data global food supply, measured by the per capita dietary energy supply, increased by 5 percent between 2010 and 2021, to 2 978 kcal/cap/day.
