The more useful bit is the "per capital" data on the right side.

Brazil being so high is surprising to me

Russia being so low makes sense and is a bit sad

I was surprised too. There’s a lot of food waste in food commercial hubs there, and there are accurate numbers for that. This mentions household waste, but I doubt they have any numbers for that in Brazil (and much of anywhere else, really). So I’m guessing that’s whatever numbers they can get on food waste.
