Variation of total primary production



World primary production slightly reduced by 0.8% in 2009

. In OECD countries, which represent more than 30% of total,

primary production fell by 1.6%

: in the European Union it faced a noticeable drop (4.5%) while it reduced to a lesser extend in the USA (0.5%). These reductions were balanced by a surging primary production in Japan (6.3%) due to the restart of several nuclear power generation units which had been shut down following the earthquake. Broadly,

in the rest of Asia, primary production was boosted by above 5%, led by China (+6.5%) and India (+4.4%)

. However, among other developing countries,

fossil energy

producing countries in Middle East and CIS experienced a substantial cut in their primary production (-5.5%). In Latin America and Africa, energy production slightly reduced by around 2%: again,

hydrocarbons

producing countries was more largely impacted during 2009 (of which Venezuela, Mexico, Algeria and Nigeria).
