You are right that exports are significant for some of the categories. <br /><br />All estimates of consumption have limitations. Dietary recall is notoriously inaccurate. Even "scan data" (which I would like to access) does not tell you how much waste occurs at the consumer level.Steve Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408822620071396633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4541703279082624205.post-18786951655229825632012-01-04T14:40:17.643-08:002012-01-04T14:40:17.643-08:00But what about exports of US fruit and vegetables?...But what about exports of US fruit and vegetables? How can tracking production of these categories translate to consumption without first looking at export data - which is seasonally significant. <br /><br />http://www.freshplaza.com/news_detail.asp?id=75855<br /><br />Gross production figures seems to me to be a very unscientific way to calibrate consumption.James Fraziernoreply@blogger.com
