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.
