Table 2: Use Table - Input by Industry and Final Use Category and Supply by Product Group

This table shows intermediate use by using industries (IOIG) and final use by final use categories of goods and services (IOPG) at basic prices with indirect allocation of imports. See the Glossary for an explanation of indirect allocation of imports.

A row in the first and second quadrants of this table represents a product group. A row in the third and fourth quadrants represents either a primary input, Australian production, total uses, gross value added or gross domestic product. A column in the first and third quadrants represents an industry group and a column in the second and fourth quadrants represents a final use or total use category. In a balanced table, total use equals total supply. Hence the column that represents the total use (last column in the table) is termed total supply.

For example, the row representing the product group Other food products shows that $24m of domestic plus imported Other food products was used by the Sheep industry, $190m of domestic plus imported Other food products was used by the Beef cattle industry and so on resulting in a total of $5,292m of domestic plus imported product being used intermediately by all the industries.

In the final use categories, $4,573m of domestic plus imported Other food products was used by the Household sector, $287m of domestic plus imported product was used to increase Inventories and $3,220m of domestic plus imported product was used in Exports (which includes re-exports). In total $8,080m of domestic plus imported Other food products was used by all final use categories.

In summary $5,292m of domestic plus imported Other food products was used intermediately by industries and $8,080m of domestic plus imported product was used by final use categories resulting in a total use of $13,372m of this product. Therefore, total supply of this product should be $13,372m which is reflected in the last column of this table.
