The National Marketing Year (or marketing season) refers to a twelve month period that starts with the harvest of the main crop of the season. It varies between commodities and across countries. In order to make values comparable for each commodity, the International Trade Year (ITY) applies a common timeline to harmonize the marketing season across countries. The ITY might nevertheless vary between sources.
Total cereals include wheat, coarse grains (maize, barley, sorghum, oats, rye, millet and other minor grains not elsewhere specified) and rice (in milled equivalent)."
