NASS statistics have been published for
34 quarters and eight consecutive years
(2015-2022). While 2015-2022 data were
compiled by NASS, only the third and
fourth quarters of 2014 came from NASS.
January-June data of that year originated
from a North American Millers' Association
(NAMA) panel of the largest US mills
and were subsequently interpolated by
Milling & Baking News to make the data
comparable with earlier statistics compiled
by the US Census Bureau.
NASS also estimated 2022 semolina
output at 30,629,000 cwts, up 1.5% from
30,180,000 in 2021. The record was
33,802,000 in 2020. Grind was 74.1% in
2022, against 74.6% a year ago.
