U. S. Foreign Agricultural Trade Statistical Report, Fiscal Year 1976

Book excerpt: Excerpt from U. S. Foreign Agricultural Trade Statistical Report, Fiscal Year 1976: A Supplement to the Monthly Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States Commodity-by-country data (table 8) are printed at the 7-digit Schedule B commodity code level. Statistics on commodities valued under $1 million are not shown, but are available for reference from Agricultural Specialist machine tabulations in the Statis tics Program Area, Foreign Demand and Competition Division, Economic Research Service, u.s. Department of Agriculture. So-called basket classifications (28 commodities) were excluded because they consist of diverse items and do not provide for analytical clarity. Commodity codes listed under country data include the 1974 old Schedule B codes which became obsolete, effective January 1975 and the new Schedule B codes which replace them. Countries listed under commodity headings were based on a percentage of commodity export values as follows: (1) Commodities having an export value from $1 million to $5 million show countries accounting for 5 percent or more; (2) Commodities with export value from $5 to $20 million show countries accounting for 2 percent or more; (3) Commodities with export value of $20 to $50 million show countries account ing for 1 percent or more; and (4) Commodities valued over $50 million show countries accounting for percent or more. The value of commodities from selected countries was subtracted from each commodity total to derive other countries.
