What the numbers mean

Soybeans are commonly processed into oil and meal, so a harvest total is not the same as soybean-oil production. The location of crushing plants and trade flows can separate the two. This comparison measures the beans harvested within each reporting country, before processing or export.

Where the top ten ends

The tenth entry is Bolivia at 3,216,439.80. This is a cutoff within the published comparison, not evidence that countries outside the table have no production. The date and coverage are part of the answer: updating the source or changing the eligible territories can change who appears.
