The following sections summarize the developments between 1962 and 1992 for the products listed in Table 2 by country and territory. It is essential to review these long-term trends in order to foresee developments in later years. For the sake of simplicity, only broad trends over the thirty-year period are shown, while the detailed series of data are being included on diskettes. It should be noted that in some cases the consumption data (production + imports - exports) are negative. This is due to the inconsistent data on imports and exports, and occurs most frequently in countries and territories which re-export some of their imports, e.g., Singapore and Hong Kong.
