Method:		Data are collected from reporting governments both in forms of national publications of statistics as well as via Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations questionnaires. For some localities, official and unofficial data have been combined to give the most complete view of the quantity as possible. No assessment of uncertainty is provided with the value and it should thus be interpreted as an 'estimate'. We have reported the value with less precision than reported in the source material. We direct the reader to the source for more information.
