This is per household though, not per person.

​

The average household in Nigera consists of 5.06 individuals, whereas in Sweden it is only 2.17 individuals.

​

On this graph Sweden appears to waste roughly 80kg of food per household, and Nigeria wastes roughly 190kg per household.

However, divide that per person in each household and Sweden is wasting 36.9kg per person and Nigeria is wasting 37.5kg per person.

​

The graph seems to imply that Nigerians waste 2x more food than Swedes, when actually there is almost no difference.
