STATISTICAL NOTES

 Top

General

    FAO estimates and forecasts are based on official and unofficial sources.

    In all appendix tables, the shaded columns refer to FAO forecasts and other columns represent FAO estimates.

    Estimates of world imports and exports may not always match, mainly because shipments and deliveries do not necessarily occur in the same marketing year.

    Tonnes refer to metric tonnes.

    All totals are computed from unrounded data.

    Regional totals may include estimates for countries not listed.

    Estimates for China also include those for the Taiwan Province, unless otherwise stated.

    ‘-‘ means nil or negligible.

CRB Price Indices

    The Commodity Research Bureau’s (CRB) ‘Spot Market Price Index’ measures spot price movements of twenty-two basic commodities which are assumed sensitive to changes in global economic conditions. The constituent commodities fall under two major subdivisions: Raw Industrials and Foodstuffs. The former includes burlap, copper scrap, cotton, hides, lead scrap, print cloth, rosin, rubber, steel scrap, tallow, tin, wool tops, and zinc. Foodstuffs include butter, cocoa beans, corn, cottonseed oil, hogs, lard, steers, sugar, and wheat. The index is constructed using the unweighted geometric means of individual commodity price relatives, defined as the ratio of the current price to the base period price. For more information see www.crbtrader.com.

    The ‘Reuters-CRB Energy Sub-index’ measures the unweighted arithmetic mean of price movements of futures contracts for crude oil, heating oil and natural gas, which expire on or before the end of the sixth calendar month from the index’s current date.

COUNTRY CLASSIFICATION

In the presentation of statistical material, countries are subdivided according to geographical location as well as into the following two main economic groupings: “ Developed countries” (including the developed market economies and the transition markets) and “ Developing countries” (including the developing market economies and the Asia centrally planned countries). The designation “Developed” and “Developing” economies is intended for statistical convenience and does not necessarily express a judgement about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process.

References are also made to special country groupings: Low-Income Food-Deficit Countries (LIFDCs), Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Net Food-Importing Developing Countries (NFIDCs). The LIFDCs includes 82 countries that are net importers of basic foodstuffs with per caput income below the level used by the World Bank to determine eligibility for IDA assistance (i.e. US$1 415 in 2002). The LDCs and NFIDCs groups include a list of countries agreed by the World Trade Organization (WTO) to qualify as beneficiaries under the Marrakech Decision on the Possible Negative Effects of the Reform Programme on Least Developed and Net Food Importing Developing Countries. The LDCs group currently includes 50 countries with low income as well as weak human resources and low level of economic diversification. The list is reviewed every three years by the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. The NFIDCs group includes 24 developing country WTO Members that have notified their request to be listed as NFIDCs and have submitted relevant statistical data concerning their status as net importers of basic foodstuffs during a representative period. This list is reviewed annually by the WTO Committee on Agriculture.

DISCLAIMER

The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
