*Annual average, ie of the three years 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1986, 1987, 1988.

** The 1987 figure is derived by multiplying the 1975 figure by the relative growth in the index of production of livestock products between 1975 and 1987 and dividing the result by the relative growth in the index of production of ail agricultural products. It is, therefore, only an approximation.
