How this number is made
- Source
- FAO, FAO Food Price Index rises in February for first time in five months
“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.
