PS&Donline
The
FAS Production, Supply and Distribution
(PS&D) online database contains current and historical official
USDA data on production, supply and distribution of agricultural commodities
for the United States and key producing and consuming countries. Users may
select from a menu of pre-defined tables categorized by commodity or commodity
group.
Export Sales Database
This database allows users to search for information
dating from Jan. 1, 1999, to the present, based on
commodity and country of destination. Data typically
will be updated on a weekly basis, usually Thursdays,
with the release of the weekly export sales report.
Additionally, the database will produce custom graphs
showing outstanding sales and exports of a particular
commodity by marketing year, as well as comparing data
from the previous year and a 5-year average.
Import & Export Data
U.S. export/import data is available from FAS databases in two different forms:
- BICO Reports provides bulk,
intermediate, and consumer-oriented agricultural product data in both a
calendar or fiscal year format.
- U.S. Trade Reports provides a more comprehensive
commodity by commodity breakdown of exports and imports over a two- or
five-year period.
Databases of Foreign Agricultural
Trade of the United States (FATUS) are available in MS Excel
spreadsheet format from USDA's Economic Research Service. These include the
following:

The Agricultural Market Access Database (AMAD)*
A collection of data and information for WTO members, AMAD
primarily consists of tariff schedules, tariff bindings,
country notifications, import quantities, applied tariff
rates, and other data useful in tariff analysis. Based in MS
Access™ and Excel™, AMAD is a publicly available information
tool for the analysis of WTO market access issues in
agriculture. The database currently contains data for 50
countries, including documentation and examples.
* AMAD results from a co-operative effort by Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada, EU Commission–Agriculture
Directorate-General, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO),
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), the World Bank, United Nations Conference on Trade
and Development (UNCTAD), and USDA–Economic Research

products that can be examined. Aggregations are available of
