EXPLANATIONS

Supply balance sheets compare the resources and uses of an agricultural product in a country over a reference period.

Degree of self-sufficiency indicates to what extent domestic production of a region covers all the needs or domestic use of this region. With regard to the balance sheets, degree of self – sufficiency is calculated using the domestic use as with usable production quotient. The case that the percentage is less than 100 reflects a shortfall in supplies. A percentage higher than 100 indicates the existence of quantities, which exceed the normal domestic needs and can be exported and/or stored.
