2/ To express cereal food aid in grain equivalent, wheat, rice and coarse grains are counted on a one to one basis; for grain products, appropriate conversion factors are used to determine the grain equivalent.

3/ Up to 1994/95, twelve member countries; from 1995/96, 15 member countries (including Austria, Finland and Sweden).

4/ Low-income food-deficit countries: for definition see footnote 9/ to table on "Basic facts of the world cereal situation".
