How to calculate the methanol to potato ratio
Methanol to Potato ratio = Methanol price per Metric Ton ÷ Potato price per 100 Kilogram
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — 100 Kilograms of potato per Metric Ton of methanol — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $2,861.00 ÷ $1.40 = 2044. The inverse is 0.0004893.
