NYU Student Research: Food and Trade Report - Imports/Exports - All Resources Together
*Currency information Data comprised of 2006 monthly average, rather than a specific day since its always changing (1 US dollar = amount, so if Brazil is 2.12, then $1=2.12 real, so you get 2.12 real per dollar) (rates taken 3/8/06, updated 3/18/06) *http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/world/A0857148.html This website has great information and seems to break down each country's imports and exports in rank order, but the data does not match with other websites. Thus it is difficult to ascertain if it is accurate. The majority of the import/export info came from this site, though not all of the data was reconciled with other websites or information sources. Those facts that were reconciled tended to be from this website, so this is the best bet for accuracy because it was updated in January 2005 *http://www.officialexportguide.com/Top10Exports/TopTenExports.asp Top 10 exports for all countries, data from end of 2004 census bureau, # in thousands of dollars. However, when the 2005 data was pulled on the previous website, very few countries matched with what other sites had to say. The discrepancy makes it hard to give any one site the power of being completely correct *http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html#top Great Country profiles *http://www.theodora.com/wfb/#CURRENT The site seems good, but hard to interpret how current the information is Specific Country Information *http://www.intracen.org/menus/countries.htm For export data from 1999-2003 for all countries International Trade Center Exp= Exports, Imp= Imports, websites in parentheses denote the fact that the commodity was reconciled with another website which means its more likely to be accurate) Afghanistan: Exp- Crude Petroleum Oils (?), Foodstuffs/grapes (?); Imp- Petroleum Oils (118), Tea (83) Algeria: Exp- Crude Petroleum and Oils (11346.3), Petroleum Gas (10035.1); Imp- Wheat/Meslin 878, Medicament mixtures (685) (Exp confirmed with http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/country_profiles/790556.stm) Argentina: Exp- Soya-bean oil cake and other solid residues (3223.8), Crude Petroleum Oils (2637); Imp- Parts and accessories of motor vehicles (587), Cars (565) (exp confirmed http://www.theodora.com/wfbcurrent/argentina/argentina_economy.html, site says imp are machinery Bangladesh: Exp- Clothing (635), Men's Shirts (568.3); Imp- Petroleum Oils, not crude (431), Cotton (383) (exp confirmed with http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/country_profiles/1160598.stm) Brazil: Exp- Soya beans (4290.4), Iron Ores and concentrates (3455.9); Imp- Crude Petroleum Oils (3881), Petroleum Oils not crude (1929) Burma: Exp- teak (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/country_profiles/1300003.stm) Canada: Exp- Cars (31381.6), Petroleum gases (20355.7); Imp- cars (17964),parts/access motor vehicles (17534) (Exp confirmed with http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/sc_mrkti/tdst/tdo/tdo.php#tag, Imp confirmed same but last 2 years most imported was Petroleum- not enough to offset the net of last 5 yrs) China: Exp- Auto data processing machines (41016.8), Parts/access computers (18404.4); Imp- Electronic integrated circuits (41834), Crude Petroleum oils (19782) Colombia: Exp- Crude
