In cases where such data is not available for a given year, the data for the previous year shall be used. (b) Calculation of the amount of food waste on the basis of socioeconomic data relevant for the respective stages of the food supply chain. The calculation of food waste shall be based on the latest data on amounts of food waste generated within a stage of the food supply chain and the increase or decrease, in the period from the year of the latest measurement of that data to the current reporting period, of the level of one or more of the following socioeconomic indicators: Stage of the food supply chain Indicator Primary production — Food production in agriculture, fishery and hunting Processing and manufacturing — Production of processed food — based on PRODCOM ( 1 ) data.
