Ranking is based on 2023 export quantities reported in WITS/UN Comtrade for HS 080300 where quantity was available. It is not a complete ranking of all exporters: Ecuador had the highest export value in the same table, but its quantity was not reported there. HS 080300 includes bananas and plantains, fresh or dried.
How to read this dashboard: the date at the top updates automatically, but the underlying official datasets do not update every 24 hours. The 24-hour food-supply figure is an annual average divided by 365, not a live sensor. International trade statistics are published with a reporting delay.
