About this ranking

Protein available for human consumption, in grams, per person per day from all foods, as published in FAOSTAT's food balances (item "Grand Total"). FAO converts each food's supply into nutrients with food composition factors and divides by the resident population.

Supply, not intake: the food available for human consumption at retail level, from production plus imports minus exports, stock changes and non-food uses, divided by the population. Household waste and what is not eaten are included, so it is higher than what people actually eat. FAO compiles these balances itself from national production and trade data, so every value is marked as estimated. The series starts in 2010 with FAO's current food balance method; FAO's older balances for 1961 to 2013 use another method and are not included. FAO revises past years with each release.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. 8 countries with data in other periods have no value for 2014 and are left out rather than filled from another source. Equal values share a rank.
