Foreign Demand | Competition Division, Economic Research Service
Excerpts from the Introduction: Europe and the USSR produce and consume a large share of the world's food and fiber. Assessment of the agricultural and food situation in these areas is basic to a knowledge of world production, consumption, and trade in food and fibers. The indices presented in this publication are a part of the continuing effort of the Economic Research Service (ERS) to assess the world agricultural situation. The country indices are calculated by Laspeyres' base-weighted aggregate formula. The weights used in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union are estimates of the 1961-65 average price received by farmers in Western Europe, and for West European countries they are the average base period prices received by farmers in each of the individual countries, expressed in U.S. dollars per metric ton. Regional indices are computed from sums of country aggregates. Only those agricultural products of considerable significance in the respective countries are included. Production data are listed under the year in which the bulk of the harvest occurred.
