**Executive Summary**

Post has revised upwards its 2000/2001 and 2001/2002 production
estimates. Previous Post production estimates included only marketed
production, which is the portion of farmers' harvest actually sold to
the various buying agencies. Farmers sold over 98 percent of then total
harvest before the advent of the price crisis, which became pronounced
starting in the 2000/2001 marketing year. Farmers' sales to buying
agencies are estimated to have dropped by 15 and 13 percent respectively
for the two marketing years, 2000/2001 and 2001/2002, due to rising
on-farm storage.
