“The FAO brief also revised upwards its estimate for 2025 global cereal production to a record 3 029 million tonnes, a 5.6 percent increase from the previous year.”
- Step 01
Take FAO’s figure for 2025: 3 029 million tonnes (an estimate).
- Step 02
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 96 tonnes per second.
- Step 03
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.

- The result of those steps, recomputed four times a second in your browser. Nothing on this page is fetched live from the publisher.
- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
Frequently asked questions
Which published figure is the counter based on?
FAO’s figure for 2025: 3 029 million tonnes (an estimate).
How is the live number calculated?
Take FAO’s figure for 2025: 3 029 million tonnes (an estimate). Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 96 tonnes per second. Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.
How accurate is the counter?
Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
Where does the data come from?
FAO, “FAO Food Price Index rises in February for first time in five months”. The record quotes the publisher’s own sentence, and nothing on the page is fetched live from the publisher.
