NOTES: (1) Data in shaded cells are estimated average values. (2) Total food supply is given by: production - non-food uses + imports - exports + stock variations. Stock variations indicates an adjustment of statistical data. (3) Even though the FAO website is showing food balance statistics to 1999, 1997 is the last updated year for fish and fishery products; 1998 and 1999 are repetitions of 1997 data for trend purposes in total food supply analysis. The repeated fishery data will be progressively replaced by official data as it becomes available.
