FSUPRDAT.wk1 contains 21 tables that present statistics on the food 
processing sector for the years 1980-1995 in the 15 republics of the 
Former Soviet Union: Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, 
Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia, 
Azerbaijan, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, as well as in the 
aggregate former USSR. For some years and republics data are unavailable. 

Table 1 contains data on the production of vegetable oil. 

Table 2 contains data on the production of butter.

Table 3 contains data on the production of granulated sugar.

Table 4 contains data on the production of canned goods.

Table 18 contains data on the production of tea.

Table 19 contains data on the production of ice cream.

Table 20 contains data on the production of non-alcoholic
beverages.

Table 21 contains data on the production of mineral water.

The data generally include total output from both state and non-state food 
processing enterprises. As much of the data, such as flour and bread 
output, were considered state secrets, there are many gaps for the smaller 
republics, particularly in back years.  It should be noted that in most 
cases the total output of meat considerably exceeds the figure for 
processed meat output.

The primary source materials used for these tables are the official
annual statistical yearbooks of the former Soviet Union and the
fifteen republics.
