Production is FAO 'Vegetables Primary'. Food supply is the FAO food balance figure: quantity available for food, including household waste, not what people actually eat. China's own statistics bureau reports a larger vegetable output because it counts more crops; this page uses FAO for every country so the numbers compare.
