Anyone have any ideas why Brazil’s per capita is so high?

And Russia’s so low?

No idea how its being calculated but if it takes into account food lost during transport, tons of food spoil during transport in Brazil due to the terrible infrastructure for goods.

This is household food waste and the study also inclues retail and food services.

My own uneducated guess would be weather. But I’m sure it is something else.

That makes sense. Brazil’s number is close to its peers in Latin America and the Caribbean.

And how is China so high? Do they just throw shit away all the time?

I mean, China’s per capita waste is similar to that of the United States or Germany, so presumably they throw roughly as much shit away per person as the US - it’s just that, having four times The people, they naturally throw away four times The shit.
