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