Major Statistical Series of the U. S. Department of Agriculture: How They Are Constructed and Used: Volume 5: Consumption and Utilization of Agricultural Products

摘要

Statistical data series which measure the supply and utilization of agricultural commodities are described and evaluated in this report. Each of the large number of data series measures some aspect of the stock and flow of agricultural commodities. Some relate to individual commodities and others are aggregate measures encompassing the entire complex of production and marketing activities. The basic data framework for all of this work is the set of supply-utilization balance sheets for individual commodities and approximately homogeneous groups of commodities.
