The easy access to large data sets has allowed for leveraging methodology in network physics and complexity science to disentangle patterns and processes directly from the data, leading to key insights in the behavior of systems. Here we use country specific food production data to study binary and weighted topological properties of the bipartite country-food production matrix. This country-food production matrix can be: 1) transformed into overlap matrices which embed information regarding shared production of products among countries, and or shared countries for individual products, 2) identify subsets of countries which produce similar commodities or subsets of commodities shared by a given country allowing for visualization of correlations in large networks, and 3) used to rank country fitness (the ability to produce a diverse array of products weighted on the type of food commodities) and food specialization (quantified on the number of countries producing a specific food product weighted on their fitness). Our results show that, on average, countries with high fitness produce both low and high specializion food commodities, whereas nations with low fitness tend to produce a small basket of diverse food products, typically comprised of low specializion food commodities.

This statistic shows the worldwide production of grain in 2024/25, sorted by type. In that year, worldwide wheat production came to about 793.24 million metric tons. The most important grain was corn, based on a production amount of over 1.2 billion metric tons. Grain Humans have been harvesting the small, dry seeds known as grain for thousands of years. The two main categories of grains are cereals, such as wheat, rye, and corn, and legumes, such as beans, lentils, peanuts and soybeans. Many grains are capable of being stored for long periods of time, easily transported over long distances, processed into flour, oil, and gas, and consumed by animals and humans. Most grain in the U.S. is used as animal feed, while slightly less is converted into ethanol. The smallest portion is consumed by humans. There has been recent debate about the health and ethics of grain feeding animals such as cows, goats, and sheep, animals biologically better suited to consuming grass. Though more cost effective than grass feeding, some argue this practice has an adverse effect on the quality of the meat as well as on the health of the animal and the consumer. The use of grains in producing ethanol has increased significantly in recent years. Global ethanol production has tripled since the year 2000. Ethanol is a semi-renewable energy formed by the fermentation of a feedstock, often sugar cane or corn cobs. It can be mixed with gasoline and used as motor vehicle fuel. This hybrid motor fuel emits fewer pollutants than standard gasoline.

Description

This dataset contains information on crops and livestock products, sourced from FAOSTAT. It provides data for various countries and regions, covering annual statistics on harvested area, yield, and production. Data includes item codes, measurement units, and additional metadata such as flags indicating data reliability (e.g., estimated or official figures). The dataset supports agricultural and economic research for food production analysis.

Attributes

• Domain: Type of products (e.g., Crops and Livestock).
• Area: Geographical region or country.
• Element: Data type (e.g., harvested area, yield, production).
• Item: Specific product or commodity.
• Year: Year of data collection.
• Unit: Measurement unit for the data value.
• Value: The actual statistical measurement.
• Flag Description: Data reliability or source type.

*The Item Code (CPC) in the dataset refers to a standardized code used to identify specific agricultural products or items. It is derived from the Central Product Classification (CPC) system, which is an international standard maintained by the United Nations. This system is used to classify goods and services for economic analysis.*

Purpose of CPC Codes

Identification:

Each product, such as "Almonds, in shell" or "Wheat," is assigned a unique CPC code.

Standardization:

Facilitates international comparability and harmonization of data.

Economic Analysis:

Supports tracking of production, trade, and consumption statistics globally.

Example from Dataset

For instance:

• Item Code (CPC): 01371
• Item: "Almonds, in shell"

The CPC code helps ensure consistent identification and analysis of "Almonds, in shell" across datasets and countries.

Collection Methodology of the Dataset

Crop Production Data

1. Data Types and Collection:

• Data is primarily collected for harvested areas, though for permanent crops, it may reflect planted areas.

• Yields are computed using detailed area and production data, with higher reliability for temporary crops compared to permanent crops (e.g., coffee and cocoa).

2. Specific Crops:

• Cereals:

Data only covers crops harvested for dry grain, excluding those harvested for hay or silage. The area data corresponds to harvested areas unless only sown or cultivated areas are reported.

• Vegetables:

Statistics often refer to field crops grown for sale, excluding small-scale household gardens.

• Fruit:

Data covers fresh fruit production for food or processing but excludes production from wild plants or scattered trees.

3. Estimation and Reliability:

• Data for non-reporting countries are estimated.
• Data collection is inconsistent across countries, leading to variations in coverage for certain crops and regions.

4. Sources:

• Governments provide data through national publications and FAO questionnaires.
• Supplemental data from unofficial sources and international organizations ensure broader coverage.

Livestock Production Data

1. Livestock Numbers: - Covers all domestic animals, regardless of age or breeding purpose. Estimates are included for non-reporting countries or incomplete data.

2. Dairy and Egg Production: - Milk production includes whole fresh milk, excluding milk consumed by young animals. - Egg data may be derived from poultry numbers and estimated laying rates in countries lacking direct statistics.

3. Sources and Reliability: - Governments contribute through annual FAO questionnaires. Incomplete data is supplemented with estimates based on available indicators.

Time Reference

• Data is organized by calendar year, though some countries report based on agricultural or marketing years. When necessary, adjustments align these periods to a standard calendar year.

Totals and Aggregation

• Continental and world totals include only countries in the dataset. Rounding and coverage differences may cause discrepancies.

Data Sources and Enhancements

• Official government reports, supplemented by data from national and international organizations, aim to ensure completeness. Unofficial data may be incorporated when official data is lacking.

This comprehensive approach ensures that the dataset reflects a broad and detailed view of global agricultural production, though some data inconsistencies and gaps are acknowledged.

No Endorsement:

*The FAO does not endorse any specific interpretation, use, or analysis of this data beyond the context of its intended use for research, policy analysis, and decision-making. The FAO d...

Abstract
Research into the origins of food plants has led to the recognition that specific geographical regions around the world have been of particular importance to the development of agricultural crops. Yet the relative contributions of these different regions in the context of current food systems have not been quantified. Here we determine the origins (‘primary regions of diversity’) of the crops comprising the food supplies and agricultural production of countries worldwide. We estimate the degree to which countries use crops from regions of diversity other than their own (‘foreign crops’), and quantify changes in this usage over the past 50 years. Countries are highly interconnected with regard to primary regions of diversity of the crops they cultivate and/or consume. Foreign crops are extensively used in food supplies (68.7% of national food supplies as a global mean are derived from foreign crops) and production systems (69.3% of crops grown are foreign). Foreign crop usage has increased significantly over the past 50 years, including in countries with high indigenous crop diversity. The results provide a novel perspective on the ongoing globalization of food systems worldwide, and bolster evidence for the importance of international collaboration on genetic resource conservation and exchange.
