What the numbers mean
Agricultural land includes permanent pasture as well as cropland. A high share therefore does not mean that most land is intensively planted with food crops. The percentage also differs from the largest agricultural area in square kilometres. The source's treatment of grazing land is central to understanding this comparison.
Where the top ten ends
The tenth entry is Kazakhstan at 79.19. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no activity. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
