Book excerpt: Excerpt from Production, Consumption, and Trade of Coarse Grains: Developments and Prospects for Selected Foreign Countries and Areas Total world grain production advanced to nearly billion tons in 1967 after exceeding the l - billion-ton mark first in 1966 (table Coarse grains account for almost half of total world grain output, with the remaining pro duction about equally split between wheat and rice. World production of rye and oats has declined, while output of barley, corn, and millet and sorghum has increased. Rye output declined percent and oats percent annually be tween 1955-57 and 1965-67. Average annual percentage increases for other grains were: barley, percent; corn, percent; millet and sorghum, percent These trends brought the overall average annual increase in coarse grain output to percent between 1955-57 and 1965-67-below the increase for wheat percent) but above that of rice percent) Rye accounted for only percent of total coarse grain output in 1965-67 million tons) and its relative importance continues to decline. The So viet Union, Eastern Europe, and the eec (principally West Germany) jointly pro duce over 88 percent of the rye crop (table. Although rye production fell in all three of these countries or areas during the 10-year period 1955-57 to 1965-67, the major decline was in the eec percent annually). Three of the major producing areas expanded production during the decade, but the largest percentage increase occurred in Canada. Although rye is considered a coarse grain in this study, a substantial pro portion of production is consumed as food. This is especially true in the major producing areas-ussr, Eastern Europe, and west Germany-where large amounts of rye are used in bread baking. However, rising levels of living are reducing the demand for rye as a food grain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
