How to read this table
The list contains 58 rows, with each row representing a specific country. This enables comparison of pork production volumes between countries by selecting relevant regions from the list. The indicator is recorded at the end of each reporting year; therefore, when analyzing, it is important to use year-end values for a specific period to account for seasonal fluctuations or long-term trends
What is visible in these numbers
Five highest values: Spain (34.5), Russia (28.3), Germany (27.7), Poland (15.2), Denmark (13.4). Gap between highest and lowest — 172.5 times. The top five account for 65.6% of the total across all positions — distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual and cover 7 periods. Cells with numbers: 175 out of 175 (100%); data gaps are virtually absent
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2010 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur
