- The ratio of ending cereal stocks to total cereal utilization expressed as a percentage.
- Measure
- One slice of Stocks-to-use ratio ( form: share, segment: cereals ) . Ratio of ending stocks of a commodity to its total utilization. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.

- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
