Notes:

In the 1993-94 series, altogether MSR values were quoted for 79 items originating in the
agricultural sector. By contrast, MSR values of 48 items were quoted (or observations made)
in the 1981-82 series. From the older list, 2 items have been dropped in the new series
(hemp and sesame) and 2 items (ghee and butter) shifted to the Manufactured Products sector,
making a total of 44 items of the old series with MSR values. 11 entries are added as fresh items
in the new series and 24 other items are added from the old series for which MSR values are
now made available, making up the total of 79 items.
