| Footnotes: |
| a. | The index of agricultural production is a ratio of country's net agricultural output in 1996-98 relative to the base period 1989--91. This ratio is then multipled by 100 to obtain an index number. |
| b. | Negative values, indicating a net export of grain, are not shown. Cereal consumption is defined as production plus imports minus exports. |
| c. | Data are for the most recent year available within the given time range. |
