PREFACE This report supersedes "Quantity Indexes of US Agricultural Exports_and Imports," FAS-M-76, Foreign Agricultural Service, January 1'960 It revises the earlier quantity indexes to reflect a more recent base period and to reweight the commodities according to more recent prices The new base period 1957-59 provides a representative period for agricultural trade relatively free from unusual circumstances The publication was prepared by Dewain H Rahe, Assistant Chief, Catherine Cograve, and Joseph R Corley, Trade Statistics and Analysis Branch, Foreign Development and Trade Division, Economic Re~earch Service CONTENTS Page Export Highlights 1 Import Highlights 5 Nature of Revision, 7 Construction of Index 7 Base Period, 8 Selection of Commodity Classifications 8 Adjustments for Seasonal Variations 9 Comparison with Previous Indexes 9 TABLES Table 1--us agricultural exports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, fiscal years 1866-1968 11 Table 2--US agricultural imports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, fiscal years 15-68 15 Table 3--US agricultural exports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, calendar years 14-67 17 Table 4--us agricultural exports Quantity indexes of grains, feeds, vegetable oils, and oilseeds, calendar years 1957-67 19 Table 5--us agricultural exports Quantity indexes of grains, feeds, vegetable oils, and oilseeds, fiscal years 1958-68 19 Table 6--us agricultural exports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, seasonally adjusted, monthly, 1957-68 20 Table 7--us agricultural exports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, not seasonally adjusteu, monthly, 1957-68 26 Table 8--us agricultural imports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, calendar years 14-67 32 Table 9--us agricultural imports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, seasonally adjusted, monthly, 1957-68 34 Table 10--us agricultural imports Quantity indexes of principal commodity groups, not seasonally adjusted, monthly, 1957-68 40 FIGURES Figure 1--Volume Trends in us Agricultural Exports 2 Figure 2--Volume Trends in us Agricultural Exports and Imports 4 Washington DC 20250 February 1969
QUANTITY INDEXES OF US AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS AND IMPORTS Trade Statistics and Analysis Branch Foreign Development and Trade Division Export Highlights The volume of US agricultural exports has expanded sharply in recent years, especially since the middle 1950's The quantity index in fiscal 1968 (year ending June 30) equaled 148 (calendar years 1957-59 = 100) This was the third highest level on record, 6 percent below the alltime record of 157 in 1965/66 and 3 percent below the 152 in 1966/67 This e~pansion of US agricultural exports started in the early years of World War II following the adoption of the lend-lease program It was further stimulated by the adoption of Public Law 480 (the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954) Exports under Government-financed programs since the inception of Public Law 480 have averaged about $15 billion a year The tremendous increase in us exports in recent years has been accounted for by commercial sales for dollars, which increased from $2,309 million in 1954/55 to an alltime high of $5,188 million in 1966/67 From the Civil War era to 18/, agricultural exports expanded almost continuously The steady and rapid expansion of agricultural production, stimulated by industrialization in both the United States and abroad, brought about a sevenfold increase in agricultural exports During this period, the United States imported capital from Western Europe to develop the industries, railroads, and other sectors or the infrastructure of the country This capital was repaid in large part by shipments of agricultural commodities to Western Europe, while European agriculture remained rather stagnant Beginning with the turn of the century and continuing to the late 10's, the us export volume fluctuated but remained at a fairly constant level The quantity index for farm product exports ranged from a low of 46 in 19/10 to a high of 85 in 1918/19, 5 percent above the previous peak in 1914/15 A substantial portion of the increase from 1910 to 1919 reflected purchases due to World War I The downward trend in US agricultural exports dating from the late 10's to early 1940's was brought about largely by a movement in Western Europe for greater self-sufficiency in agricultural production and by the accompanying trade restrictions After World War II, agricultural exports again started an upward trend, due to US assistance to many European countries for rehabilitation As these countries recovered from the war, they again became commercial markets for us agricultural products Cotton exports fell sharply during World Wars I and II and have since generally shown a downtrend Increased competition from foreign suppliers and

the sharp increase in the production of manmade fibers have influenced this decline Exports of wheat and feed grains have shown sharp increases since World War II In line with agricultural exports in general, exports of grains dropped sharply between the late 10's and 1930's due to the self-sufficiency policies in Europe In addition, a prolonged drought in the United States resulted in the United States importing large quantities of wheat in the 1930's Following the immediate expansion of US exports after World War II to meet Europe's and Asia's postwar needs, us wheat exports continued to increase substantially under Public Law 480, more recently known as the food-for-freedom program In addition, demand increased sharply for wheat and rice by developing countries, such as India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Taiwan, Korea, Brazil, and other Asian, Latin American, and African countries In the past, many of these countries were net exporters of grains After World War II, they became deficit countries as population expanded rapidly and food production lagged because of lack of innovations in agricultural practices A substantial part of the increase in population stemmed from increased longevity as better medical facilities became available to developing countries Tobacco exports trended upward after the Civil War, although yearly fluctuations became wider with the start of World War I and the imposition of trade restrictions by m~jor importing countries Lack of foreign exchange resulted in policies that encouraged tobacco production in many other countries For example, production increased sharply in Rhodesia after World War II when the United Kingdom encouraged production in the Commonwealth to reduce the dollar outflow for imports of US tobacco Exports of fruits and vegetables increased until 19, after which they fluctuated erratically until the post-world War II period The sharp expansion in the early 1950's reflects the improved standards of living in Western Europe, Canada, and Japan and the improved foreign exchange position of leading importers which permitted the relaxation of import controls The United States has been a substantial supplier of fruits and vegetables when production in other major consuming countries has been sharply reduced In recent years, however, many of these countries have increased their own production of fruits and vegetables, thereby reducing the need to import from the United States; for instance, production has increased substantially in Western European countries Many US food-processing companies have recently established foreign plants to avoid trade restrictions, such as tariffs, quotas, and health and sanitary requirements, and to obtain a larger share of the market Thus, demand for American-grown products has been reduced In addition, many of the developing countries have emphasized production of fruits and vegetables to obtain larger amounts of foreign exchange to help finance their overall economic development plans US exports of most animal products increased sharply following World War II These exports were often encouraged because of large domestic supplies; for example, in some years the exports of dairy products were largely under Government-financed programs However, the United States has maintained an upward trend in commercial exports of many animal products, such as tallow, hides and skins, and variety meats These products are in relatively large 3

supply in the United States at attractive prices European countries and other developing and industrial countries find these products an economic supplement to their own production of animal products us exports of hides and skins have shown a substantial increase But, in 1967/68, they declined because of increased competition from other major suppliers and from greater use of leather substitutes in the industrial countries of Western Europe and Japan Import Highlights Since 1950, overall agricultural imports have remained relatively constant except for variations during periods of crisis which affected international trade For instance, imports of agricultural products jumped sharply in 1951 and 1952 (Korean crisis) and then declined in 1953/54 to a level not too different from the years prior to 1950/51 From 1953/54 through 1967/68, us agricultural imports averaged just over $40 billion and ranged from a low of $36 billion in 1960/61 to a high of $45 billion in 1965/66 and 1966/67 and $47 billion in 1967/68 The quantity index ranged from a low of 85 in 1954/55 to a high of 119 in 1967/68 The United States, like many other countries, regulates imports to keep out animal and plant pests and diseases, weeds, and adulterated foodstuffs, as well as to protect farm incomes Import quotas or other restrictions also help t9 regulate the flow of agricultural imports that might otherwise interfere with the stability of domestic farm prices, or upset the market for domestically produced goods The executive branch may issue import restrictions or impose quotas or fees as permitted under Section 22 of the Agricultural AdJustment Act, as amended However, these restrictions are subject to subsequent investigation by the Tariff Commission Commodities currently controlled under section 22 are wheat and wheat products, cotton and certain cotton wastes, cotton fibers which have been processed but not spun, certain dairy products, and peanuts Under Public Law 88-482, quotas may be imposed to regulate imports of certain meats Should these meat imports exceed 110 percent of a base impor~ quantity, the President may proclaim import quotas; so far, such regulation has not been needed Many of the products which the United States imports from tropical countries, however, have little or no duties placed upon them Such products include coffee, certain spices, fresh bananas, and unprocessed jute, sisal, and other tropical vegetable fibers Under other statutes, nontariff restrictions may be imposed Imports of ruminants, swine, and fresh, chilled, or frozen meats are prohibited from countries certified by the Secretary of Agriculture as not free of footand-mouth disease or rinderpest Plant Quarantine regulations restrict imports of plants or their products or soils that may carry plant pests into the United States- Fluctuations have occurred in the impormof various commodities Increased imports of animal and v~getable products raised the total imports of supplementary items to 61 percent of total agricultural imports in 1967/68, up from 44 percent in the 1950-54 period Expanding incomes and demand for time-saving food preparations have encouraged imports of meats used in manu- 5
facturing prepared products, such as ready-to-cook hamburgers, luncheon meats and ready-to-serve meat products Imports of fresh fruits and vegetables having a seasonal nature were increased to provide the consumer with a yearround selection of many fresh fruits and vegetables which would not otherwise be available In total, the index of animal and animal product imports has shown a rising trend from a low of 70 in 1956/57 to 159 in 1967/68 In 1966/67, dairy product imports showed the highest increase from previous years although from 1960/61 through 1965/66 they were relatively stable However, they declined again in 1967/68 Hide and skin imports have almost been consistently lower than the base period (1957-59), ranging from in 1959/60to 74 in 1967/68 Imports of meat and meat products rose from 110 in 1960/61 to 213 in 1967/68, mainly due to larger imports of beef and veal Fresh beef imports, which totaled $19 million in 1961/62, were up to $360 million in 1967/68 The relative stability of the value of dairy product imports was disrupted by an increase of $40 million from 1965/66 to 1966/67 This increase was in commodities not subject to the regulations under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act Colby cheese rose from 20 million pounds in 1965/66 to 76 million in 1966/67 and butterfat-sugar mixtures rose from 61 million pounds to 140 million Imports of all cheeses represented over half of the total increase in dairy product imports As a result of this sharp rise, President Johnson issued a proclamation on June 30, 1967, under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, to extend import quotas to several dairy products not previously controlled The new quota covered butterfatsugar mixtures, Colby and other American-type cheeses, and frozen cream These new quotas were aimed at reducing dairy product imports to about 1 billion pounds of milk equivalent annually Among the other major supplementary import items, grains and feeds have declined some sinrel958~9 Imports of vegetable oils and oilseeds increased slightly, and sugar and unmanufactured tobacco imports remained relatively stable although somewhat higher than the average for the base period The index for imports of vegetable oils and oilseeds rose to 128 in 1967/68, 17 percentage points higher than in 1961/62 Although the United States is a net exporter of oilseeds and products, there is a demand for oils with special properties and characteristics required in certain food processes and other industrial uses During the period since 1960/61, imports of copra declined somewhat However, this decline was offset mainly by larger imports of cocoa butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and palm oil Sugar imports accounted for a large share of total supplementary imports The index of sugar imports for the period 1960/61 through 1967/68 changed moderately, ranging from a low of 83 in 1963/64 to a high of in 1967/68 Sugar imports are regulated and allocated by shares to foreign producing countries to protect the sugar price, while equitably dealing with the many suppliers wishing to sell in the US market The United States imports sugar mainly from the Philippines and Latin American countries 6
Coffee is the largest import item and accounts for over half the total complementary imports In addition, cocoa contributes largely to the remaining complementary imports The index of coffee, cocoa, and tea imports remained relatively constant from 1960/61 through 1967/68, averaging about 112 during the 8-year period 1961-68 Imports of bananas, which were small compared with imports of coffee, cocoa, rubber, and wool in 1961-64, increased quite substantially during 1965-68 and more than doubled from 1960/61 to 1967/68 Thus, the index for banana imports shows a substantial increase from the 1957-59 average us imports of bananas reached a record level in 1966/67, being stimulated by lower import prices as new banana plantings became available in Central America The United States accounts for about two-fifths of the world banana imports Equador, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica are the principal suppliers of bananas to the United States Improved technology and marketing techniques have helped to expand world banana exports The transition from stem delivery to box packaging and shipping has contributed to better condition of the fruit after delivery and has permitted wider distribution Nature of Revision This report updates the previous quantity indexes of US agricultural trade Among other uses, a quantity index provides a quantitative measure of the magnitude of current US trade compared with earlier periods The current index changes the base period to 1957-59 from 1952-54 The indexes, published as a monthly series since 1957, are also adjusted for seasonal variation since 1957 The current indexes are published in "Foreign Agricultural Trade of the United States" Those on a monthly basis, both adjusted and unadjusted for seasonal variation, appear in the monthly issues, and those on an annual basis appear in the calendar year and fiscal year supplements Construction of Index "Foreign Crops and Markets," Bureau of Agricultural Economics, September 3, 14, page 231, describes the construction of the first index numbers of agricultural exports "New Quantity Indexes of Foreign Trade of the United States in Agr~cultural Products," Office of Foreign Agricultural Relations, April 1941, contains revisions of export indexes and the first index numbers of us agricultural imports This was updated and revised in "Quantity Indexes of US Agricultural Exports and Imports," FAS-M-76, Foreign Agricultural Service, January 1960 The current indexes, as well as the previous ones with which these are linked, were compiled by the weighted aggregate method expressed in the formula I=~Q1P 0 in which Q1 is the number of units of each commodity ex- ~QoPo 7
ported or imported during the period for which the index is computed; P 0 is the average unit value of the respective commodity during the 3 years 1957-59, computed from quantity and value figures; and Q0 is the average number of units of the respective commodity exported or imported annually or monthly during the 3 years 1957-59 Base Period The base period of the index is 1957-59, the standard base for all indexes in the us Government It represents a period of agricultural trade that was relatively free from unusual circumstances, such as wars or depressions, that would seriously affect the index numbers The calendar year base 1957-59 was used for both the calendar year and the fiscal year index numbers so that the weighting of these two series would be similar In addition, it permits the use of monthly indexes to develop either a calendar year or a fiscal year index These index numbers were linked with previously calculated fiscal year quantity indexes beginning in 1865/66 for exports and in 14/25 for imports and with calendar year indexes beginning in 14 for both exports and imports Selection of Commodity Classifications The export index was constructed from the agricultural commodities classi~ fication included in schedule B of the US Bureau of the Census, effective from 1957 through 1959 In all, the export index contained 332 numbers out of a total 446 agricultural schedule B codes They accounted for about 93 percent of all export trade in 1967/68 The index of agricultural imports was based on 417 classifications in the Tariff Schedule of the United States Annotated (TSUSA) which accounted for percent of all imports in 1967/68 The change of the import classification from schedule A in the Bureau of the Census to TSUSA in 1963 resulted in considerable reweighting and calculating of these indexes The commodity grouping and method of weighting inqividual items were set up in such a way that adjustments can be made for changes in groupings or commodity codes without affecting the comparability of the index In selecting the commodities for inclusion in the index, an effort was made to obtain a list of practical length without excluding any important items Relatively important items are judged by dollar values during the base period and the availability of quantity statistics Another criterion in choosing the commodities was the homogeneity of the Bureau of the Census classifications An effort was made to avoid classifications that included large subclasses differing greatly in price or in trade trends In order to provide a more useful series of indexes, agricultural export indexes were broken down into several subindexes by major commodity group In the yearly series, separate subindexes were calculated for each of the groups shown in the tables In the monthly export series, the various animal subgroups were combined into a single index for animals and animal products 8
In the new import index, the commodity groupings were adjusted slightly to allow for changes in classification and to provide for a more logical combination of commodities according to their importance during the base period The division of agricultural imports into supplementary and complementary commodities was continued from previous indexes All agricultural commodities similar to those produced in the United States and interchangeable in use to any significant extent are supplementary The complementary group includes all other imported agricultural commodities; coffee, cocoa beans, tea, rubber, raw silk, wool for carpets, spices, and bananas accounted for percent of the total complementary products in the base period Adjustments for Seasonal Variations The average quantities for calendar years 1957-59 were calculated by month for each commodity and commodity group in both export and import indexes and were adjusted for seasonal variations By eliminating the seasonal variations, these adjustments bring out the underlying movements of the series The resulting seasonally adjusted data combine trend-cycle and erratic movements The erratic movements usually dominate in 1- and 2-month comparisons of the seasonally adjusted figures, but the underlying trend becomes apparent in comparisons made over longer spans, usually 3 or 4 months The indexes were adjusted independently using the Bureau of the Census Method II, Seasonal Adjustment Program l/ A stable seasonality existed in the indexes of both exports and imports of agricultural commodities The test for the existence of stable seasonality is computed from the ratio of the variants between months to the residual variants; if this F ratio is above a given tabled value, stable seasonality is indicated More detail on the seasonal variations and the various components is available in the Trade Statistics and Analysis Branch of the US Department of Agriculture for inspection upon request Comparison with Previous Indexes The export indexes from 1865/66 to date were compiled on a fiscal year basis, since foreign trade data prior to 1914 are available only on a fiscal year basis Although calendar year numbers are available since 1914, the index was not constructed for calendar years earlier than 14 The fiscal year indexes of agricultural exports from 1865/66 through 1913/14 were based upon the volume of 29 major commodities in trade during the base period 1910-14 These 29 commodities accounted fot 75 percent of the total volume of trade during 1910-14 In 14, the index was recomputed from 1910 through 14, using 44 commodities that accounted for about percent of ll Technical Paper No 15, The X-11 Variant of the Seasonal Method II, Seasonal Adjustment Program, US Bur Census, Nov 1965 9
all exports and linked to the old index These indexes were continued to 1940 but in 1941 were revised back to 14, using calendar years 14-29 as the base period and including 74 commodity classifications which accounted for 96 percent of the total trade in the new base period Because of the declining importance during the 1930's of dairy products and several meat products, the 1941 revision did not show these groupings separately Consequently, it was possible to show continuous trends in trade from 1865/66 to date for only the more important commodities -- cotton, grains, tobacco, and total animal products A continuous comparable series on exports of fruits and vegetables is available from 19 to date and for exports of vegetable oils and oilseeds since 14 10
