Note: This table shows the percentage change in production for agricultural commodities across regions in 2020 compared to 2019. The values indicate the percentage change exogenous shocks introduced into the CGE model to capture changes in region‐specific agricultural production. Superscript 1 denotes that WASDE only reports soybeans, superscript 2 is to designate the source is FAS PS&D, and superscript 3 is to indicate the values are just for Russia and Ukraine within the Former Soviet Union region.
