Note on commodities

All commodity data and projections in this report are expressed in terms of primary product equivalent unless stated otherwise. Historical commodity balances (supply utilization accounts – SUAs) are available for about 160 primary and 170 processed crop and livestock commodities. To reduce this amount of information to manageable proportions, all the SUA data were converted to the commodity specification given above in the list of commodities, applying appropriate conversion factors (and ignoring joint products to avoid double counting, e.g. wheat flour is converted back into wheat while wheat bran is ignored). In this way, one supply utilization account in homogeneous units is derived for each of the commodities of the study. Meat production refers to indigenous meat production, i.e. production from slaughtered animals plus the meat equivalent of live animal exports minus the meat equivalent of all live animal imports. Cereal demand and trade data include the grain equivalent of beer consumption and trade.

The commodities for which SUAs were constructed are the 26 crops and six livestock products given in the list above. The production analysis for the developing countries was, however, carried out for 34 crops because sugar and vegetable oils are analysed separately (for production analysis only) for the ten crops shown in the footnote to the list.
