 1/ Production figures of rice are milled equivalents of rough rice and not the actual milled quantities. The amounts of rough rice used for animal feed and seeds,
etc., and not milled at all, are about 0 % of total rice equivalents for British Guiana, and 5% for Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica.
2/ Sources: Reports of the British Guiana Rice Marketing Board 1960-61.
/ The difference between acreage planted and acreage reaped is accounted for by the volunteer growth of rough rice in the spring from the grains scattered In
harvesting the preceding autumn crop.
4/ Yield per acre is obtained from production of rough rice and acreage reaped.
5/ Except for 1951 and 1952 no firm figures are available. Figures for other years are best estimates arrived at from fragmentary data.
