	Commodities by country
	Countries by commodity
	Country rank in the world, by commodity

This page presents production of the 20 most important food and agricultural commodities (ranked by value) in a given country for the year indicated. International commodity prices are used, to calculate the total value of each commodity produced by each country and subsequently used in the ranking of commodities and countries. They are applied in order to avoid the use of exchange rates for obtaining continental and world aggregates, and also to improve and facilitate international comparative analysis of productivity at the national level. Data is extracted from the FAOSTAT database. For detailed definitions of commodities and other notes, see technical notes.
