How this figure is calculated
Roots and Tubers, Total — Gross Production Value (constant 2014-2016 thousand I$) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Roots and Tubers, Total — Gross Production Value (constant 2014-2016 thousand I$) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Roots and Tubers, Total — Gross Production Value Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
