How this measure is built

Definition
Total volume of cereals produced.
Measure
One slice of Production ( form: level, segment: cereals ) . The total quantity or volume of goods produced. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
Limitations
10 figures are projections, drawn dashed and labelled in the table. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
Verification
Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its quote before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
