The Growth in U . S . Wheat Food Demand
نویسنده
چکیده
U.S. food use (demand) accounted for 27 percent of total disappearance in 1980/81, and is projected to rise to 36 percent by the year 2000. As food use captures an increasing share of total disappearance, estimating its magnitude becomes even more important in determining total wheat demand for the United States. Because there are many classes of wheat used to produce a wide variety of “wheat-based” food products, wheat-by-class food demand equations are developed to estimate total U.S. wheat food demand.
