Note: Loss estimates at the consumer level have been updated. See http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications/TB1927/.

Due to the termination of select Current Industrial Reports by the Census Bureau, data on durum flour cannot be updated to 2012. The absence of data on durum flour is not critical to the Food Availability Data System since data is still available at a higher level of
aggregation (i.e., wheat flour).

This table uses aggregate food availability data, adjusts for losses, and converts the remaining supply into daily per capita calories and food pattern equivalents. 2The basic availability estimate is made at a primary distribution level, which is dictated for each commodity
by the structure of the marketing system and data availability. 3Calories per ounce-equivalent and grams per ounce-equivalent were obtained from USDA's Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release, http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. 4Food pattern
equivalents multiplied by calories per ounce-equivalent. 5Grams per day divided by grams per-ounce equivalent.

Source: Calculated by ERS/USDA based on data from various sources (see http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-system/loss-adjusted-food-availability-documentation.aspx). Data last updated Feb. 1, 2015. Note: The loss factors
presented here are preliminary estimates and are intended to serve as a starting point for additional research and discussion. We welcome suggestions to expand on and improve our loss estimates. Contact Jean Buzby at jbuzby@ers.usda.gov or Jeanine Bentley at

This table uses aggregate food availability data, adjusts for losses, and converts the remaining supply into daily per capita calories and food pattern equivalents. 2The basic availability estimate is made at a primary distribution level, which is dictated for each commodity
by the structure of the marketing system and data availability. 3Calories per ounce-equivalent and grams per ounce-equivalent were obtained from USDA's Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release, http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. 4Food pattern
equivalents multiplied by calories per ounce-equivalent. 5Grams per day divided by grams per-ounce equivalent.

Source: Calculated by ERS/USDA based on data from various sources (see http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-system/loss-adjusted-food-availability-documentation.aspx). Data last updated Feb. 1, 2015. Note: The loss factors
presented here are preliminary estimates and are intended to serve as a starting point for additional research and discussion. We welcome suggestions to expand on and improve our loss estimates. Contact Jean Buzby at jbuzby@ers.usda.gov or Jeanine Bentley at

Note: Annual data and per capita estimates for rice are unavailable beyond 2010 due to a large and unexplained decline in the implied total domestic and residual use estimate. Residual use accounts for all unreported losses in the milling, transporting, and marketing of
rice, and also offsets any statistical error in another supply and use account.

Loss estimates at the consumer level have been updated. See http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications/TB1927/.

This table uses aggregate food availability data, adjusts for losses, and converts the remaining supply into daily per capita calories and food pattern equivalents. 2The basic availability estimate is made at a primary distribution level, which is dictated for each commodity
by the structure of the marketing system and data availability. 3Calories per ounce-equivalent and grams per ounce-equivalent were obtained from USDA's Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release, http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. 4Food pattern
equivalents multiplied by calories per ounce-equivalent. 5Grams per day divided by grams per-ounce equivalent.

Source: Calculated by ERS/USDA based on data from various sources (see http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-system/loss-adjusted-food-availability-documentation.aspx). Data last updated Feb. 1, 2015. Note: The loss factors
presented here are preliminary estimates and are intended to serve as a starting point for additional research and discussion. We welcome suggestions to expand on and improve our loss estimates. Contact Jean Buzby at jbuzby@ers.usda.gov or Jeanine Bentley at

This table uses aggregate food availability data, adjusts for losses, and converts the remaining supply into daily per capita calories and food pattern equivalents. 2The basic availability estimate is made at a primary distribution level, which is dictated for each commodity
by the structure of the marketing system and data availability. 3Calories per ounce-equivalent and grams per ounce-equivalent were obtained from USDA's Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Release, http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list. 4Food pattern
equivalents multiplied by calories per ounce-equivalent. 5Grams per day divided by grams per-ounce equivalent.

Source: Calculated by ERS/USDA based on data from various sources (see http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-system/loss-adjusted-food-availability-documentation.aspx). Data last updated Feb. 1, 2015. Note: The loss factors
presented here are preliminary estimates and are intended to serve as a starting point for additional research and discussion. We welcome suggestions to expand on and improve our loss estimates. Contact Jean Buzby at jbuzby@ers.usda.gov or Jeanine Bentley at

Note: Annual data and per capita estimates for rice are unavailable beyond 2010 due to a large and unexplained decline in the implied total domestic and residual use
estimate. Residual use accounts for all unreported losses in the milling, transporting, and marketing of rice, and also offsets any statistical error in another supply and
use account.

Due to the termination of select Current Industrial Reports by the Census Bureau, data on durum flour cannot be updated beyond 2010. The absence of data on durum
flour is not critical to the Food Availability Data System since data is still available at a higher level of aggregation (i.e., wheat flour).

Loss estimates at the consumer level for rice, barley and oat products have been updated. See http://www.ers.usda.gov/Publications/TB1927/.

This table uses aggregate food availability data, adjusts for losses, and converts the remaining supply into daily per capita calories and food pattern equivalents. 2The
basic availability estimate is made at a primary distribution level, which is dictated for each commodity by the structure of the marketing system and data availability.
3
Food pattern equivalents multiplied by calories per ounce-equivalent. 4Grams per day divided by grams per-ounce equivalent.

Source: Calculated by ERS/USDA based on data from various sources (see http://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-system/loss-
adjusted-food-availability-documentation.aspx). Data last updated Feb. 1, 2015. Note: The loss factors presented here are preliminary estimates and are intended to
serve as a starting point for additional research and discussion. We welcome suggestions to expand on and improve our loss estimates. Contact Jean Buzby at
