Short definition

A USGS measure relating imports minus exports, with the stock adjustments specified for the product and period, to apparent or estimated consumption of a mineral product. Product scope, period and statistical method must remain consistent. A 100% rate describes the national balance for that category; supplier-country shares use a separate denominator.
