Note:— Table 4 is derived from Table 3 by dividing the supplies of each commodity by a calculated 
normal requirement, based on pre-war per capita consumption multiplied by the estimated population 
in each year. 
1 Average statistical deficit. 2 Average statistical surplus. 3 Net exports. 
SUPPLIES OF MEATS, FATS, AND OILS 
The data relative to the production of meats, fats, and oils in 
Germany are largely approximations, based upon estimates made 
from official and trade figures. The Fach-Ausschussess fur Fleisch- 
versorgung estimates that the available supplies of beef, veal, pork, 
mutton, goat, horse, and dog flesh in 1923 were 46.4 per cent of the 
1912 supply for the whole Empire. In Table 59, page 79, the esti- 
mates indicate that the supplies of all meats in 1923 were 53.5 per 
cent of the 1912 supply for the Empire and 60.1 per cent of the esti- 
mated supply for the territories now composing the Republic, which 
amounted to approximately 4,043,000 short tons in 1912, as com- 
pared with 2,980,000 short tons in 1921, 2,845,000 short tons in 1922, 
2,429,000 short tons in 1923, and 3,360,000 short tons in 1924. (See 
Table 5, p. 10.)
