How this figure is calculated
Soybeans: are they used for food, feed or fuel? divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Soybeans: are they used for food, feed or fuel? ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Soybeans: are they used for food, feed or fuel? Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2025) – processed by Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
