I did make one change to the FAO data to remove Venezuela. Venezuela doesn't have a strong agricultural sector and actually imports much of their food. But the FAO data don't reflect this. Why? My guess is that it has to do with the fact that the "official" exchange between Bolivars and Dollars is 10/1, while the actual market value is over 1000/1.

2019 update. Venezuela has disappeared from the latest version of the FAOStat data.

So it's not actually agricultural production, but agricultural sales?

Mauritius is really weird to appear here, going to check it on google maps now to see their fields!

I only guessed Mauritius because I just read about how vanilla is one of the most expensive crops, and Mauritius is one of the countries that grows it. It looks like their main crop is sugar cane though.

The total column was easy. Per capita was almost impossible though I got half of them including #1 which seemed obvious.

Yeap, the Per Capita was pure guess work. A few on there I would have been guessing for quite a while before I got to them.

I was deceived by the quiz name and only noticed the per capita column when there was too little time to do anything about it.

I was surprised that Chile wasn't on the second list. Small population relatively and a bunch of high value fruit crops. Or is it just considering the value of cereal crops? If it's just the cereal crops then it probably should be mentioned in the title. If it's just cereal crops does it include cereal that is grown as fodder or just for human consumption?

I think it's all crops, NZ doesn't grow many cereal crops for example. A lot of that would be coming from grapes (for wine) or kiwifruit. From the FAOSTAT world food and agriculture statistical pocketbook, NZ exports $1.8 billion worth of fruit and vegetables, but only $0.4 billion worth of cereal. Chile does export $6 billion worth of fruit and vegetables, but is a net importer of cereal and has 5 times the population.

The per capita one was difficult. All of them seem logical in hindsight, but it's a pretty random list.

Interesting to not see any (continental) African countries on here, given that much of their populations are in the agricultural sector.

I was expecting to see Colombia, depends what comes under the heading “agriculture” though! ;-)

The title and caveat do not really match. Agricultural production is both crop and livestock. Crop production is not livestock.

It would therefore be interesting to learn what has been taken into consideration. With or with livestock would make the list very different.

I am also wondering if the value is what it has actually been sold for or is there a standard on what a certain standard value per quantity over the world.
