¹Grand totals, U.S. data, and estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
²Includes data available through March 29, 2017. One cubic meter of peat equals 0.8806 metric ton.
³In addition to the countries listed, Austria, Chile, Iceland, Italy, and Romania produced negligible amounts of peat. Australia and-
New Zealand also produced peat, but information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
