Banana production
Key information
- Extreme poverty here is defined as living below the International Poverty Line of $2.15 per day.
- The data is measured in international-$ at 2017 prices – this adjusts for inflation and for differences in the cost of living between countries.
- Depending on the country and year, the data relates to either disposable income or consumption per capita, depending on the country and year.
- Non-market sources of income, including food grown by subsistence farmers for their own consumption, are taken into account.

What are ‘Bananas’?
There is no single definition of bananas. Our understanding of the extent of bananas and how it is changing depends on which definition we have in mind.
- We can use bullet points, italics, bold etc. to describe bananas.
We can even embed charts to illustrate some important aspect of the definition of bananas:

Sources and Processing
One or two sentences explaining what this object is – it’s a (global?) dataset of X built from source Y and source Z.
One or two sentences summarizing what source X and Y are.
To prepare this dataset:
- We ingest the original data. One sentence explanation.
- We standardize names of countries and regions. Since the names of countries and regions are different in different data sources, we harmonize all names to the Our World in Data standard entity names.
- An other key processing step that applies to many variables within the dataset. For a small number of country-year observations, estimates for both income and consumption are available in the World Bank PIP database. In these cases we keep only the consumption estimate in order to obtain a single series for each country. You can find the data with all income and consumption data points kept in this dataset.
- We calculate additional metrics. We make transformations of the data to derive some additional metrics that are not available directly from the original Global Carbon Budget data.
There may be something important to say about how we prepared the data – but that applies to only this variable, or a few variables besides, and hence doesn’t quite belong in the datasetDescription.
Metrics included in this data collection:
- Annual CO₂ emissions per capita (currently viewing)
- Annual consumption-based CO₂ emissions
- Annual CO₂ emissions from cement
- Annual CO₂ emissions from land-use change per capita
- Annual share of global CO₂ emissions
