How this figure is calculated
Net food imports by crop - Rice, milled with 52 missing years estimated by linear interpolation between the nearest real observations. Only gaps of 4 years or fewer are filled, and never beyond the first or last actual measurement — these are filled holes, not forecasts.
Computed from
- Net food imports by crop - Rice, milled FAOSTAT. Available at: http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
