First thing first, my code,

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[letterpaper, top=0.5in, bottom=0.5in, left=1.55in, right=1.55in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multirow,array,varwidth,spreadtab,caption}
\usepackage[norule]{footmisc}
\usepackage{pythontex}
\usepackage{siunitx,booktabs,caption}

\usepackage{layout}
\usepackage{xtab}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[some,bottom]{background}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}

\usepackage{indentfirst}
\newcommand{\mc}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{c}{#2}}
\definecolor{Gray}{gray}{0.85}
\definecolor{LightCyan}{rgb}{0.88,1,1}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{NET ENTITLEMENT FISH OIL MARKETS}}\\
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019}}\\\hline
    \rowcolor{LightCyan}
    \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{Country}}&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{Company}}&Proved Cooked&Proved Uncooked&Total Proved\\
    \rowcolor{LightCyan}
    \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{}&(T)&(T)&(T)\\\hline
    ChUAN& \pyc{print("{}".format(row[0]))} &51,574&31,202&82,776\\\hline
    IraW-West POINT &  & 9,656 &57,981&67,637\\\hline
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{3}{*}{KAZSLSKDE}}& PKKR& 32,129 &5,174& 37,304 \\\cline{2-5}
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}&KOLKOL&9,718&3,447&13,165\\\cline{2-5}
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}&PKPK&424&0&424\\\hline
     TOTAL CNNNO & & 103,501 & 97,804 & 201,306\\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\label{tab:multicol}
\end{table}

\end{document}

And what I got is like below,

The second row coloring obviously block not only the "Country" and "Company" but also the "|" in the first two rows.

How could I get rid off this problem? Appreciated on any comments and help.

Answer 1

Tables are constructed from row to row. \multirow{2} puts the stuff in the current and the next row. But the next row is not yet drawn and will overprint the text that sticks into this row.

The better way is to use \multirow{-2} in the row below to print in the current row and the row above, which is already set.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{NET ENTITLEMENT FISH OIL MARKETS}}\\
    \multicolumn{5}{c}{\textbf{AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019}}\\\hline   
    \rowcolor{LightCyan}
    &&Proved
    Cooked&Proved Uncooked&Total Proved\\
    \rowcolor{LightCyan}
    \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{-2}{*}{Country}}
    &\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{-2}{*}{Company}}
    &(T)&(T)&(T)\\\hline
    ChUAN& \pyc{print("{}".format(row[0]))} &51,574&31,202&82,776\\\hline
    IraW-West POINT &  & 9,656 &57,981&67,637\\\hline
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{3}{*}{KAZSLSKDE}}& PKKR& 32,129 &5,174&
     37,304 \\\cline{2-5}
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}&KOLKOL&9,718&3,447&13,165\\\cline{2-5}
     \multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}&PKPK&424&0&424\\\hline
     TOTAL CNNNO & & 103,501 & 97,804 & 201,306\\\hline
\end{tabular}

Remarks:

• \centering in table avoids additional vertical space, which is set by environment center.

Answer 2

Another solution with the makecell package, which allows for line breaks inside cells, and a common formatting. Also there are less rows. I removed loading color, since you load xcolor, and added the table option? Iformatted the numbers using the siunitx package. Finally, as I don't have pythontex installed I had to comment the line where it's used:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[letterpaper, top=0.5in, bottom=0.5in, left=1.55in, right=1.55in]{geometry}
\usepackage{multirow,array,varwidth,spreadtab,caption}
\usepackage[norule]{footmisc}
%\usepackage{pythontex}
\usepackage{siunitx,booktabs,caption}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{layout}
\usepackage{xtab}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[some,bottom]{background}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\PassOptionsToPackage{xcolor}{table}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{makecell}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}
\newcommand{\mc}[2]{\multicolumn{#1}{c}{#2}}
\definecolor{Gray}{gray}{0.85}
\definecolor{LightCyan}{rgb}{0.88,1,1}
\usepackage{siunitx} 
\sisetup{table-format=6.0,group-separator ={,}}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering\setlength\extrarowheight{2pt}
\label{tab:multicol}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|S|S[table-format=5.0]|S|}

    \hline%
 \rowcolor{LightCyan}
Country & Company & {\makecell{Proved Cooked\\T}} & {\makecell{Proved Uncooked\\T}}& {\makecell{Total Proved \\T}}\\
\hline
