1/  Total value of payments to farmers for the specified commodity.  Source: MOS. 
2/  Purchases from producers. Source: MOS. 
3/  Average price paid for procured commodi ty computed as total expenditures on the co mmodity divided by the actual procurement  of the commodity. 
4/  For wheat, and  barley the value of imports includes the price of the commodi ty, insurance and ocean freight. unloading at Aqaba, and domestic  transportation to proc urement warehouses and 
other storage at or near Amman as reported by MOS  For  lentils and chickpe as, the CIF value of imports if used.  Source:s: MOS and DOS. 
5/  For wheat and barley, imports are those reported by MOS.  For lentils and chickpeas, impor ts are those reported by DOS. 
6/  Total value of imports divided by quantity of commodity imported. 
7/  Estimate of differential in quality between locally produced  commodity and imported commodity.  In the case of wheat, the e stimate is set equal to half the differential observed between U.S. 
Hard Amber Durum and U.S. Hard Red Spring wheat (ordinary prot ein) during 1990-1997.  Source for U.S. wheat pric e data: Wheat O utlook and Situation Yearbook, USDA, Feb. 1998. 
8/  Computed as unit cost of imports at Amman adjusted for the quality differential. 
9/  Amount of commodity actually purchased from producers. Note that this differs from total pr oduction for two reasons:  1) al l procured goods are subject to minimum quality standards which may 
not be met by all production; and 2) s ubsistence producers do not sell their cr op but consume it on farm. Source: MOS.
