SOURCES: FAO for indices. Rice prices: International rice brokers and trading companies. Vegetable oils prices: Ista Miekle & Co. "Oil World Weekly".
Note: The FAO Indices are calculated using the Laspeyres formula. The rice export price indices are calculated for 15 export prices. In this table two groups representing "High" and "Low" quality rice are shown. The price indices for oilcrop products are calculated for international prices of ten selected oils and fats and seven selected cakes and meals. The weights used are the average export values of each commodity for the 1990-92 period.
