Definition

What this measures

The FAO gross production index number for food covers commodities that are considered edible and that contain nutrients; coffee and tea are excluded. Production of each commodity is weighted by international commodity prices (2014-2016 average) and expressed relative to the 2014-2016 base period, so the World value is directly comparable with each country's. FAOSTAT domain QI, item Food (2054), element Gross Production Index Number (432). Annual.

Quality and confidence
FAOSTAT revises history in place; each revision is stored as a new row labelled with the domain's DateUpdate. Aggregates other than World and former countries (USSR, Sudan (former), ...) are not stored. Index numbers are published without a unit.
Ingestion rejects values outside 0 to 2,000 index 2014-2016=100.
