I was reading Farmers' [self-killing] in India, just Wikipedia scrolling, and I came across this statistic (CW: self-harm and mortality statistics)

India is an agrarian country with around 60% of its people depending directly or indirectly upon agriculture. From 1995 to 2013, a total of 296,438 farmers have killed themselves in India, or an average of 16,469 suicides per year.[526] During the same period, about 9.5 million people died per year in India from other causes including malnutrition, diseases and suicides that were non-farming related, or about 171 million deaths from 1995 to 2013.[527]

Here's the original study
