All the wheat-related statistics you can want

[fivemack]

The FAO wheat site offers one page per country, so I've taken the transpose to produce the table below.

One ton per hectare is 9.5 bushels per acre, these are figures from 2000.

It has been pointed out that they're in intercalated alphabetical order, which is in almost no case the right order to use. You can pick them up more usefully at Google Spreadsheet.

The blue lines should be equal kilotons, but I haven't troubled to work out what units they're in.

That's an excellent graph, thanks! What tool did you use to make it?

[the lines are 100kT, 1MT, 10MT, 100MT]

It's an Excel spreadsheet. The labels are made with the AppsPro Chart Labeler, a very useful add-in utility from Rob Bovey.
