How to read this number

The total weight, in tonnes, of the crop or product harvested or produced in the country in a year, as reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Item: Carps and other cyprinids. The weight is wild catch and farmed production added together, counted as live weight: the whole animal as it was caught or harvested, before it is gutted, shelled or processed. It is more than the weight of the food you buy.

Only countries with a production above zero are listed. Countries that grow or make none, or that have no FAO figure, are not ranked (they are not counted as zero). Many figures, especially for small countries, are estimated by the FAO, so small differences between countries are not reliable. Weather and harvests change the amounts from year to year.
